Clipper 5 For Windows 7

Clipper 5.3 introduces the native Clipper mouse & GUI programming with the use of Lightlib as a alternative terminal driver. Unfortunately, 5.3 was found to be buggy and with inadequate documentation as to the usage of the mouse & GUI programming. While CA- Clipper 5.3a has mainly been created as a maintenance release, there are a few enhancements in the product that we hope you will find useful. These enhancements include new macros in the source code editor (please see the 'CA- Clipper Workbench Source Code Editor Macros' chapter of this document) and a new sample application named GDBU. GDBU is a graphics version of CA- Clipper's DBU. This sample application has been written entirely in CA- Clipper 5.3 and demonstrates the many uses of graphics mode. The source code to this sample application has been included in the CLIP53 SOURCE SAMPLE GDBU directory.

Feel free to change this source code as you wish so that you can experiment with the many features that graphics mode has to offer in CA- Clipper. This will allow the executable to use sufficient memory throughout the duration of the application. ___________________________________________________________________________________ CA- Clipper Release Notes Version 5.3b Intl May 1997 ___________________________________________________________________________________ CONTENTS ======== 1.

Xbase++ is a Clipper compatible development platform for 32- and 64bit Windows. Xbase++ has been developed for compatibility with Clipper 87 and 5.x. Hi guys, I think only Microsoft can answer this question. Our system was made by Clipper language and FOXBase. The problem is, the system can't run on Windows 7.
