Editorial: For your Profession's Sake, Learn Windows NOW! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Les Squires LSquires@world.std.com or 73020,3435. ReplyTo: Delrina, 6830 Via Del Oro, Suite 240 San Jose, California USA 95119-1353 GO DELRINA on CompuServe. Having recently installed Delrina's WinFax, I was pleased to see that I was able to send my first fax within 15 minutes. I sent it to my brother Keith in Ohio. High quality fax. Whole new look to faxes. I liked it. He liked it. Here's the best part. The next print request I made from Microsoft Word listed WinFax as one of my printers, right alongside my HP III. Come on, I'm in Word, not WinFax. What does installing WinFax have to do with Word? Everything, it seems! I quickly clicked on each of my other Windows applications, and, sure enough, every application that knows how to print itself now ALSO KNOWS HOW TO FAX ITSELF! The fax port from COM2 is now in every windows application on my hard disk. Adding faxing is as straightforward as adding another printer. Clicking on the 'WinFax Printer' from within any application brings up the WinFax Phonebook and prompts for a recipient and whether I want a cover page. My HP III or your fax, no difference. With a simple installation of an $80 WinFax (the best textbook you'll ever read on telecommunications), your printer is my printer. My printer is your printer. Every application knows you. Get this. Nobody 'recompiled' any of the 15 or so applications! Nobody bought any third party libraries! Nobody goofed around with the COM ports! Nobody experienced any 5333 errors! Nobody messed with theories on 'late binding'. Nobody had to study the latest OOPS books! Nobody did anything to the individual software packages to make them fax ready. Nobody had to take out a loan or get corporate signatures to add faxing to every application on the network! Nobody had to attend a conference to upgrade their skills! Editor's comment on editor's editorial. The fax experience above is a mere symbol of the revolution that's storming us. It used to be that everything in our Clipper applications was made by great effort. Such functionality now comes as freebies, at times being installed without our knowledge . There will ALWAYS be room for developers, but job descriptions are changing rapidly. It's time to learn Windows! Repeat the fax experience above. Get your hands on every new product you can explore. Pool these experiences at your user groups. Write up a 30 line paragraph for BCNN of some mind-blowing product you have seen. Forget software and vendor allegiances. Shop around. Play around. Be unfaithful. Marry outside the family. Act boldly. Attend a Fox conference. Look into Sybase, SQLBase, dbFAST, Paradox. Sign up for a seminar on Visual Basic or Realia. Try WinFax. Look at Ca-Simply Money. Get your free copy of CA-Simply Tax (800-737-3382). Dust off Microsoft Access. Experience. Think. Re-invent! Stay in touch! 2. ** Special Meeting ** Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Les Squires LSquires@world.std.com or 73020,3435.

Clipper MultiMedia ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: James Walsh <100031.2102@CompuServe.COM> Has anyone used Clipper to put together multimedia packages? If so, I would be very interested in featuring them in a book I am writing. 5. Clipper '87 and DOS 6.0 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Fred Shadko 72461.203 Because of my need for small .exe's (targets include a lot of XTs), I use S87 only. Memory. If your app just won't load when a client moves to DOS 6.0 - check for the "Not Enough Memory" message. You're being hit by the EMM change MS dropped on us in DOS 6.0. Quick work around: Issue SET CLIPPER=E0 before starting up (if you don't use EMM). Else, use EMM501 found in the clipper programming forum on CompuServe. Printing. If a S87 app suddenly can't print on your old dot matrix printer, use MODE to set infinite retires on LPT1: Mode LPT1,,p Apparently DOS 6 runs to LPT1 faster than previous versions did, and some old printers are just too slow for it, resulting in very erratic looking columns. Anyone else out there still struggling with S87? Love to hear from you. 6. "X2c - Portable Xbase to C" Compiler Finds a New Home at Rytech * $$ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Richard Roth 203-544-8950 ReplyTo: Iain Mackenzie 203-357-7788 Rytech 2 Stamford Landing Stamford, CT 06902 USA 800-275-8494 Tel: 203-357-7788 Fax: 203-357-7842 CIS: 72217,2251 BBS: 203-324-1226 Richard Roth, Author of X2c and Iain Mackenzie, Partner in Rytech International, announced today that Rytech will take over sales and support of X2c from Desktop AI. Mr. Roth, the foremost expert in Cross-platform uses of Xbase, stated that Rytech's emphasis on the Xbase developer will provide a good home for X2c. "X2c allows the Xbase developer to go beyond the limits of Clipper or FoxPro by automatically creating a C program that can run on any computer platform, be it DOS, Windows, NT, OS/2, UNIX, VAX or ones yet to be developed. The X2c technology blends the elegance and effectiveness of the Xbase language with the power and portability of C." When asked how X2c fits into Rytech's plans, Mr. Mackenzie explained that "X2c provides another cross-platform Xbase option for the users of our Visual Xbase code generator. Beyond keeping X2c as a viable option for Xbase developers, we are exploring such options as a learning version to help Xbase programmers learn C and will be offering X2c with a special re-introductory price." When asked about the fate of Desktop Ai and his plans, Mr. Roth said "Sadly market changes have forced Desktop Ai to follow the steps of too many smaller computer companies, even so seven years is not bad. I expect to work with Iain on a number of projects as well as help support the continuing customers for X2c and the older dBx. Client- server systems depend on the same cross-platform issues I've been working on for the last seven years, and Xbase developers now need more help than ever." X2c, now with FoxPro support, is available for DOS, OS/2, many versions of UNIX and VAX systems. 7.

From CLIPPER Forum: New Book by Rick Spence (c) 1993 CompuServe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Rick Spence 71760,632 Price: $44.95. Audience: Advanced Developers Just to let you know my new book should be in the book stores by now. It's called "Clipper 5.2 Power Programmer's Guide". I switched publisher to SYBEX who should have a better distribution than the old publisher. 10. New Book: CA-Clipper: Step by Step * $$ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Dan D. Gutierrez 73317.646 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Availability: December, 1993. Targeted to the beginning Clipper developer. Little programming and/or Xbase experiences is assumed. Covers all language components: development environment, basic languages constructs, the preprocessor, UDCs, functions and procedures, scope and lifetime, code blocks, arrays, database access (including RDD commands/functions and the new Order Management System), memo fields, object based technology, TBrowse and low-level file functions. The last chapter is entitled "Applications" where sample data entry and reports programs are constructed using highly stylized CA-Clipper coding techniques. Contains all the latest on 5.2. 11. Editorial: Clip4Win and Clipper Windows Applications ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Bill Madonna 71072.573 In my opinion -CLIP4WIN the best invention for Clipper developers since tBrowse. I have been using it for about 6 months now and have found it to be a effective way to develop Windows based applications while still leveraging the Clipper expertise in our office. Unlike other solutions, it is not just a "dBase III+ for Windows" or a mixture of complicated "interprocess communication trickery". It generates true, stand alone, MS Windows .EXE files using the CA Clipper language. Because of that, it is able to make use of Windows features such as DDE and DLL. You program it almost exactly as you would a C for Windows application. This means that there is a vast source of knowledge available to help new developers make the transition. I have read several developing Windows apps in C books and been able to apply most of what I've read to Clip4Win. Most Clipper developers know that CA Visual Objects is coming soon. But until it arrives, and gets all the kinks worked out - I'll stick with Clip4Win. 12. New Shareware Clipper Colors Library ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: William S Wise [70243,2512] Location: COLORS.ZIP on CIS->Clipper->Lib1. Demo included. Version: 5.2c COLORS.ZIP provides control of standard, enhanced & unselected foreground and background colors, thereby giving Clipper programmers the ability to put the user in charge of the general color scheme from within clipper applications. I've inserted it into my application for anatomic pathology under the Utilities section. Users change colors, and Choose_Color( color_home ) puts the user into an interactive window with special function keys and up and down arrows to control the window's colors. When satisfied, they save the new settings or just escape. The Colors functions supporting static functions. 13. The SmartLog Error Handler & Recorder for Clipper * $$ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Marek Karon 72400.2726 MetaGroup Software 12103 S. Brookhurst St. Suite E-410, Garden Grove, CA 92642-3065 Tel: (714) 638-8663 Fax: (310) 495-0889 MetaGroup Software has released a new version (v2.31) of its SmartLog software - The Runtime Error Handling & Recording Library for Clipper 5.x. SmartLog is intended to be used as a utility for remote program diagnostics and for standardized bug-reporting on complex Clipper applications. SmartLog now has the most comprehensive error logging capabilities with full customization. The developer may decide what information is being automatically logged to a file when a runtime error occurs. SmartLog provides complete debugging information such as error description, call trace, hardware and software environment, network status, database/index environment, DOS status, Clipper environment, etc. SmartLog is safe, it uses no Clipper internals, it's pure Clipper and FUNCky code. As such SmartLog is fully overlayable and compatible with all popular linkers, including protected mode linkers such as ExoSpace and Blinker 3. It also means easy and prompt upgrades to the new Clipper versions. SmartLog is fully network-compatible, including separate log files for each user, built-in support for NetLib library, and interfaces to other networking libraries. SmartLog transparently supports all default Clipper error-handling such as division by zero, multi-user access errors etc. A comprehensive SmartLog demo is available on CompuServe in CA-Clipper Forum. A new version scheduled for the 1st quarter of 1994 will provide FUNCky-independence, international support, and many other features. 14.

Clipper Internal Errors and Internal Development (c) 1993 CompuServe ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Kevin Long, [CA] Technical Coordinator 76004,3371. First, we have just posted in Library 0 a text file (IE52TX.ZIP) and a Norton Guide (IE52NG.ZIP) that contain information on all of the known Clipper internal error codes. Where appropriate, we've included a description and a possible work around or suggestion for narrowing down the cause of the error. However, many of these codes will mean nothing to you and are used by our support and development teams to diagnose Clipper errors. Second, in the last several weeks and during Technicon, many of you have voiced your opinions on what the next release of Clipper should include. Those comments have been gathered and are currently being evaluated by development. Sometime in the near future, we will have additional information on our plans for the next release of Clipper. 16.

Letter to the Editor: News from Russia. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Arcady G. Khotin St. Petersburg, Russia St. Petersburg's Clipper Users Group Microsoft Windows at least have their Russian version and becomes a hot issue even in Russia. Local programmers are getting exited about new features of Visual Basic 3, regarding working with different data base formats. With the growing amount of private businesses, at least we see some competition between accounting packages. Comlexity of Russian accounting system doesn't allow us to use Western packages ( at least so far - they promised to change it soon to the Western standards), so we have to use local ones. Most of them are written in Clipper! I got in touch with Phil Schwartz (hope you know him? He claims to be lecturing at every Technikon for several years now) and we are talking about having small "St.Pete DevCon'94", with him as a Chairman from US side. Great guy! More and more local Banks hire Clipper programmers to write a software for them. Banks have money and programmers start actively seeking Western third party libraries to help them with their development problems - and, turned out, those packages are practically non-existent on our market. With all that hassle of converting roubles to $$ and transferring money they have almost no chance to have it. With E-Mail practically the only reliable and quick link to the West, we have to have E-Mail addresses of third party products developers to arrange any purchase. Any ideas how to contact them? 19. Letter to the Editor ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ReplyTo: Patrick Dowd <72137.3266@CompuServe.COM> As the ex-Nantucket Regional Technical Manager for the West Coast, I have seen the Southern California Clipper Users Groups recently totally abandoning FoxPro as an alternative to Clipper and moving enmasse to PowerBuilder and Visual Basic as a GUI alternative. It seem that the 'troops' do not have the confidence that CA and the germans can produce a GUI developer's and user's interface that will work in the near future. They know that PowerBuilder and VB works today - if with some additional effort and expense. Do you, as editor, have any additional experience with VO to contribute to your readers to help convince them that waiting for VO is the way to go? 20.
