I still have an actual working DOS machine with a lot the 
"Office Suite" software from the mid 1980's.  I'm not sure
if FoxPro is one of them though.  I'll have to check.  I 
know it has Word Perfect 5.2, Dbase III and/or IV, and at 
least 2 versions of Lotus 123 as well.  The machine itself 
is either a PS/2 50Z (8550-061), or a PS/1.  (I have both, 
I'm just not sure which one has that software on it.)
