Like ALINK, NOLINK's dynamic link system is compatible with Clipper-compiled code only and was designed to help develop and test Clipper modules by eliminating the normal link cycle that is required when producing .EXEcutable programs. NOLINK only links objects into memory when they are "called" by the application that is running. NOLINK's dynamic-link system is by far the fastest linking technique of all link systems because the symbol "fixups" occur at runtime and only when they are needed by the application. NOLINK's .EXE program is built from the Clipper libraries and the NOLINK "Kernel Builder" library and is somewhat of a memory hog. NOLINK is an excellent product for testing small portions of Clipper programs or Clipper UDF's, but it can easily run out of memory on large Clipper projects. NOLINK's standard .EXE program is limited to virgin Clipper applications and is not compatible with third-party libraries. It is recommended that you use NOLINK's Kernel Builder to create a custom kernel for your more sophisticated applications. NOLINK - Kernel Builder (library) Current Version - 2.1 List Price - $89.00 The NOLINK Kernel Builder is a LIBRARY which allows the programmer to build a custom "dynamic-link" kernel which also includes compatibility with third-party libraries. Kernel Builder's Library is used with another "overlay-linker" to create the kernel. By using overlay segments, I have been successful in creating complete NOLINK kernels in as small as 190k with RTLINK and 220k with PLINK86. CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 2 5 Nov 1991 NOLINK and NOLINK Kernel Builder are available from: DONNAY Software Designs 1880 Park Newport, #104 Newport Beach, CA 92660 Voice: (714) 721-6720 Fax : (714) 721-9495 dCLIP/dCLIPRUN Current Version - 2.5 Summer 87 2.50 Clipper 5.0 List Price - $295.00 dCLIP is a complete development platform and library for Clipper applications and uses "dynamic-linking" to run clipper .OBJ files or dynamic libraries. dCLIPRUN has a 40k lower memory overhead than dCLIP because the DOT prompt and debugging tools have been removed. Both the dCLIP.EXE and dCLIPRUN.EXE "engines" are included in the dCLIP package and a set of .LIBraries are also included to allow the programmer to create custom engines or use dCLIP features in his/her applications. dCLIP also includes a royalty-free dCLIPRUN distribution license to allow the developer to distribute the dCLIPRUN.EXE runtime engine or "custom" runtime engines for running Clipper applications from .OBJects and/or .DLBs. dCLIP's technology uses functions from the NOLINK library to perform it's "dynamic-linking", but other than that, there is absolutely no resemblance to NOLINK. dCLIP is much more sophisiticated than NOLINK in its dBASE/FoxBASE-style user- interface, memory management and debugging tools. dCLIP also performs much better in network environments and includes complete documentation for integrating with all other third-party products. dCLIP is the only linking product that is a "runtime" system rather than producing an .EXEcutable program. dCLIP's .EXE can be customized by re-creating it from the dCLIP libraries, therefore dCLIP provides the advantage of using any other linking technology in conjunction with their "dynamic-linking" system. This means that a dCLIP.EXE engine built with RTLINK will support all the features of RTLINK .AND. all the features of dCLIP. For many Clipper applications, distribution of an .EXEcutable program is the most efficient and beneficial. dCLIP's runtime system was designed to solve the distribution problems which can't be managed very well in .EXE programs: 1. Alpha/Beta testing projects under development Because dCLIPRUN executes the .OBJect files or dynamic libraries, daily updates to offsite testers can be distributed CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 3 5 Nov 1991 much more quickly and efficiently. Sending a few .OBJects is quicker and easier than sending large .EXEcutables each time changes are made. 2. Configuration control and customization. dCLIPRUN offers a more efficient method of distributing applications which require constant configuration or custom changes. Custom configuration of a screen or report would normally require rebuilding the .EXEcutable program. With dCLIPRUN's "incremental linking" capability, a custom change can be accomplished at the customer's site, compiled into an object and ready to run. 3. Memory management for large applications. Some applications cannot be linked into an .EXEcutable program with any "overlay" linker because of the large number of symbols which must always go into the "root" memory. For example, Champion accounting distributes their system in 10 .EXEcutable programs. dCLIPRUN will run Champion's entire accounting package as though it were one integrated system by running the .OBJect files or dynamic-libraries. This also provides the advantage of reducing the distribution from 10 diskettes to 4. dCLIP also provides a set of libraries which can be used with any other Clipper linker. All the functionality of the standard dCLIP program is available in a set of functions which may be linked into your Clipper applications including: 1. The "dynamic-link" system 2. The dot-prompt 3. The menu-driven database manager 4. The printer manager and database 5. The report manager and editor 6. The interactive debugger 7. The source-level debugger 8. The trace debugger (profiler) 9. A complete toolbox of useful menu functions. dCLIP / dCLIPRUN is available from: DONNAY Software Designs 1880 Park Newport, #104 Newport Beach, CA 92660 Voice: (714) 721-6720 Fax : (714) 721-9495 Linker Comparison Chart -

Because Nantucket is still unable to give own bug and anomalies reports (as actually did in past with Summer 87 version) is very handy to have results of many investigations done on many user places. I'm also doing my own investigatings, because i'm always very good when someting has hidden problems. Everything what i buy will first show all problems and then all normal things. This amazing part of my live is sometime making me crazy, but for testing of programs it's great . Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ATAIL() Miscellaneous comment. Problem Statement Per the documentation, ATAIL(aArray) 'gets' the value of the last element in the array. It may NOT be used to 'set' the value and will return Compiler error 2042, Invalid lvalue, if you attempt to use it in this fashion. -----COMMENTS------ Per the documentation is ATAIL() correctly explained as only function to get value of last element. Exacly it's: "ATAIL() returns a value or a reference to an array or object. The array is not changed" Therefore NOBODY can expect at this point use of ATAIL for setting a value, because it's just function and not codeblock for EVAL or someting like this. In this case i'm missing point, WHY Jo French included this comment into anomaly report. .DD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Debugger anomalies - PARAMETERS statement Problem Statement CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 16 5 Nov 1991 1) The debugger will indicate incorrect variable values following a PARAMETERS statement. ----COMMENTS---- I was trying to make several tests with PARAMETERS statement (which i'm normally never using), but every time it was giving correct answers. If someone who is reading this has some tested example and can give exact source of program with above mentioned problem, i'm very interested in it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DBF FILES Assure proper closing. General Comment 5.01 is very sensitive about work area management. Assure that files, including indices, are properly closed before attempting things such as APPEND FROM. -----General anti comment ----- I'm NEVER thinking about closing of databases or indexes in any operations in any time. APPEND FROM is used very often in some of my programs in form of appending from database, text file, wordperfect merge files. Never got any problems and never got reported problems by customers using those programs daily. If anyone has something to say about this, please tell me!

Reason of existence of this functional equivalent is, that it will be much faster becasue of very easy way of using. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ClipperNet - CLIPWARN.ARJ File Name: CLIPWARN.ARJ Other Names: File Size: 13,316 bytes File Contents: CLIPWARN.DOC 5497 CLIPWARN.EXE 15047 CLIPWARN.C 5866 This .EXE file is offering to solve one problematic moment in Clipper compiler. Any WARNING produced during compiling are ignored from point of view NON GENERATING any errorlevel when ending CLIPPER.EXE. For someone who is using for example /W switch is very difficult to trap out some WARNINGS about variables (mostly wrong names) in RMAKE files. CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 22 5 Nov 1991 Offered solution is, that all CLIPPER.EXE calls will be replaced with call to CLIPWARN.EXE with exactly the same parameters as for CLIPPER.EXE. CLIPWARN will pass parameters to CLIPPER.EXE and on way back will supply all WARNINGS (if they were) as ERRORLEVEL number 2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ClipperNet - ENDADD.ARJ File Name: ENDADD.ARJ Other Names: File Size: 2,508 bytes File Contents: ENDADD.C 3410 ENDADD.OBJ 466 Another .C source of some replacement of Clipper sometime used functions which can slow down. At this time it's equivalent of: EFT(cString,LEN(cString) - 1) + CHR(ASC(RIGHT(cString,1)) + 1) It means precisely, INCREASING last character in string into NEXT one in Character (ASCII) table. Use of this functional construction can be expected in some browsing or trying to find LAST occurence of some string. Complete CLIPPER expression for this is of course slow because of involving a much functions, .C replacement is very fast then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ClipperNet - IS.ARJ File Name: IS.ARJ Other Names: File Size: 8,045 bytes File Contents: CHR_IN.C 327 CHR_IN.OBJ 289 ISACCENT.C 1746 ISACCENT.OBJ 612 ISALPHA.C 1904 ISALPHA.OBJ 743 ISDIGIT.C 1679 ISDIGIT.OBJ 561 ISLOWER.C 2055 ISLOWER.OBJ 748 ISUPPER.C 2037 ISUPPER.OBJ 710 Serie of Clipper .C writen additional functions. Unfortunately it's totally sometime missing any documentation. CHR_IN.C is little equivalent of AT function. ISACCENT.C testing character at given position is foregign character. ISALPHA.C testing character at hiven position is alpha character, foreign characters included ISDIGIT.C testing character at given position is numeric ISLOWER.C and ISUPPER.C are doing what they are named and are including foreing characters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 23 5 Nov 1991 ClipperNet - PRINTSUP.ARJ File Name: PRINTSUP.ARJ Other Names: File Size: 5,626 bytes File Contents: PRINTSUP.DOC 4224 PRINTSUP.ASM 7936 PRINTSUP.OBJ 855 It's quite interesting fact, that author of nice routines for interfacing directly with BIOS printing routines, is writing: "Due to the fact that i could not get CLipper 5.0 to print to printer other than LPT1:; i wrote the following routines". Remember, that SET PRINTER TO is working for ANYTHING what is supported on MS DOS level (includinge \\SERVER\@PRINTER specs from DOS based network). But anyway, those routines can be sometime handy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 24 5 Nov 1991 ============================================================================== CLIPBBS ============================================================================== CLIPBBS Distribution CLIPBBS is special magazine about CLIPPER and CLIPPERing (or about another related problems and xBASE languages).
