SYMPTOMS
The new debugging tools in Visual FoxPro version 5.0 and 6.0 do not
function when used in an .exe file. The .exe file ignores the DEBUGOUT
command in 5.0, 5.0a, and 6.0. The ASSERT command generates a "Feature not
available" error inside of an .exe in Visual FoxPro 5.0, and is ignored in
Visual FoxPro 5.0a and 6.0.
CAUSE
Because the debugger is not distributed and does not function in a compiled
.exe, the functions that use the debugger also do not function within an
.exe.
STATUS
This problem is by design and will not be changed.
