Hi
DEFDRIVE() is an .asm function from James Occhiogrosso's Clipper Developer's Library (https://portal.dnb.de/opac.htm?method=simpleSearch&cqlMode=true&query=idn%3D920358195)
Use DISKNAME() from CA-Clipper Tools library instead http://www.ousob.com/ng/tools1-3/ng8fb44.php

Hi again,
fwiw, here's how to patch your Clipper 5.2e DBU sample:
add DBUADIR.PRG
------------------
FUNCTION adir ( cSkeleton, aNames ) // tailored for use with Clipper 5.2e DBU sources
LOCAL nResult, aResult, nLen, n, nTo
IF aNames == NIL
RETURN LEN( LF_DIRECTORY( cSkeleton ))...
as you haven't mentioned what version you are using, i had it tested for both 5.2e and 5.3b
the 5.2e Blinker (PM) executable strangely processes a DIRECTORY() call returning an array of beyond 4096 elements (4679 at most before crashing!!!)
the 5.3b Blinker (PM) executable stops at 4096...
Wel, you mentioned it yourself, dbu pbly uses DIRECTORY() which return value, as an array is limited to 4096 elements; however, this limit is theoretical, also depending on available pool memory; the best chance to get closer to that limit is a protected mode executable using extended memory...
Come on,
Right-click on Start button, select properties in the context popup, etc ...
otoh, there are numerous ways to get into the Control Panel, using Start Menu is just one way
for the rest, 'Clock, Language and Region' is a googled assumption, since i have no international window7...
Hi again,
I'm finding out it has different English names (i'm using a dutch version)
btw, I always find it convenient to change Menu Start Properties to enable 'Control Panel' (Configuration) as a menu (Menu Start Tab->change|Control Panel->display as menu)
From there 'Clock, Language, and...
Hi Andrew,
I assume (win7) Configuration->Country&Language->Keyboard&Language->Change Keyboards is set correctly at your users' station, then with CA-Clipper Tools' SCANKEY() the key can be identified in order to install automatic translation with the SETKXLAT() function; else a wrapper for...
And i found this usenet clc thread meanwhile

That is an even better summary!

Hi Andrew,
Suggested was to open menu.html (not fmenu.html) - which opens a view exactly the same as the online documentation browsing link from the project's homepage :-)
As to your request for an abstract, okay, but it incorporates so many fresh ideas, i assume refering to it as an...
As an additional note:
the 'G' in Mes202G?[.bat] and Ref003G?[.bat] indicates the graphics variant; after re-reading your message, i assume you're yet running Windows XP, but to my experience the FGL library used for the graphics, is not able to run well in NTVDM on every hardware; so, let me...
Hello Andrew,
I'll try to go through your observation list :-)
Docs: the html sources can be viewed with any (internet) browser (Chrome/FireFox/Internet Explorer) - (assuming you're on Windows) f.i. start explorer, double click on the menu.html (this is the starting point to the docs) - else...
Hi Andrew,
fyi, check out this site also: http://users.telenet.be/_o_ceans - Home of the (o)ceans' project
It's about Clipper (alto a redesigned language and runtime that transpiles into CA-Clipper (5.2e/5.3b)) handling text mode/graphics mode from the same sources (full mouse support also)...
