FPD 2.5 starts in Win7.  I use the -X switch but when I attempt to
load a HUGE project it errors back with a memory size error.  100
reports, 60+ screens, about 50 base prgs that hold most of the logic
that I didn't put into the screens.  I didn't trust code in a .dbf to
live forever.  In a text file no problem!

Because I don't want to take the time to fix the problem I just dove
down to the raw code to find what I was looking for.  Open the menu
and search for the word I am looking for or into a screen to identify
table names that held reporting meta data.  Hell yeah I was doing meta
data in the late 80s!!!

Warning tough Win7 makes the display of FPD creepy small.
