notes: label: Description
content: This is part of collection of software and other materials assembled over the years by Smithsonian curator Jon Eklund. FoxTalk was a magazine published for many years by Pinnacle Publishing of Kent, Washington. It appealed particularly to users of FoxPro (initially FoxBase), a database initially designed for computers running DOS that was first released in 1984. Fox Software, publishers of FoxPro, was acquired by Microsoft in 1992 and continued publication for some years. This 3 1/2" diskette is a "companion disk" for the April 1996 issue of FoxTalk. One file on the disk is supposed to list its contents.
