ClipXMS version 1.10 (demo version)
===================================


Introduction
------------

Thank you for reviewing this demo version of ClipXMS, the XMS/EMS memory
solution for Clipper 5.

Please read MANUAL.TXT for instructions on how to use ClipXMS.


Product Announcement
------------------------

Greg Martin, the author of OverLay()*, and the co-author of ExoSpace* and
ProVision:Windows* is proud to announce the arrival of ClipXMS, the XMS/EMS
memory solution for Clipper 5.

ClipXMS allows real-mode Clipper applications to use XMS (extended) memory,
freeing Clipper from its total dependence on EMS (expanded) memory.  Just
link ClipXMS into your application and end your worries about your user's
computer configuration.  Every memory manager configuration is compatible
with Clipper when using ClipXMS.

End your user's CONFIG.SYS nightmares with ClipXMS!


Benefits of ClipXMS include:
----------------------------

  1) Allows Clipper 5 to transparently use either XMS or EMS memory.

  2) No more end-user configuration worries.  Every memory manager
     configuration is compatible with Clipper using ClipXMS.

  3) Lets the end-user disable EMS memory, potentially freeing up more DOS
     memory for your Clipper application by allowing your user to move more
     device drivers and other TSRs into upper memory.

  4) Compatible with all linkers including Blinker 3.0's dual mode.
     (Please note that ClipXMS is compatible with, but does not benefit
     protected mode programs linked with ExoSpace and Blinker 3.0)

  5) Can substantially increase performance of your Clipper application on
     2 MB 286 computers using the HIMEM.SYS driver.

  6) Inform users when they have no XMS/EMS memory manager installed.


Demo Version
------------

This demo version of ClipXMS has been made available to allow you the
opportunity to try out ClipXMS before you purchase it.  When you link this
demo version of ClipXMS into your application, your application will
display the following message at the top of the screen during startup and
pause for five seconds:

     "This application is using a demo version of ClipXMS..."

The five second pause is used only to give the user the time to read the
message.  In the release version of ClipXMS, no message is displayed at
startup and no pause occurs.

After about five minutes of operation, your application will quit with the
following message:

     "The ClipXMS demo time limit has elapsed, terminating application..."

As a sidenote, the release version contains less code than this demo
version due to the fact that the demo version has extra overhead printing
the above messages and keeping track of the elapsed time.
