Fox Software was a software company based in Perrysburg, Ohio, that made FoxBase and FoxPro, database management systems and programming languages for the dBase family of data files. FoxBase was derived from dBase III and dBase II from Ashton-Tate, and FoxPro was in turn derived from FoxBase, adding among other things the Rushmore optimizing engine that used indexes to speed up data retrieval and updating. Microsoft acquired Fox Software in its entirety in 1992, and at that time there was an active worldwide community of FoxPro users and programmers. The final published release under the FoxPro name was 2.6, and development then continued as Visual FoxPro, which Microsoft discontinued in 2007.
