I have converted a large clipper app to xbase. You can do this in stages. First convert all apps as text base and then use Express from Roger Donnay to implement GUI. If your clipper code is fairly clean and you don't use a lot of external libraries the basic conversion is pretty easy...

Wildcard; I just converted 80000 lines of clipper code to xbase. It wasn't bad at all- Be aware that xbase does some things a little differently. For instance the picture'Y' statement does not work the same as in clipper and can lead to some real problems. To insure that a "Y" is...

Don't forget you still need a set clipper="NN" in your launch bat file or burned in your app.

Try xbase++ I did the whole conversion in 3 days and haven't had very many problems. Xbase is a little stricter with sloppy code but I haven't found them wrong in anything yet. The exes generated usually are 3x the size of clipper apps but don't run any differently. Some things are actually...

Windows 2000 uses config.nt and autoexec.nt as dos startup files. Usually they are located in the windows\system32 subdirectory and can be modified to use. I can make clipper work in windows 2000 but certain devices such as the mouse do not work right. You are probably better off to begin a...

What doesn't work? My guess is that you are getting 'corruption errors'. If so look at your code and make sure that you issue a dbcommit and unlock after every record update. 5.3 is very picky about this escpecially if you are updating an indexed file. Let me know if you have any other...

I was told by CA support that Blinker 4.0 does not work. Move to 5.0 It works fine. I 'm not sure that is the problem but I suspect it is. bvolz3850@aol.com

You need to search your system for files called config.nt and autoexec.nt. You will probably find them in winnt\system. put the files statement 'files=xx' in config.nt. you may want a buffer statement as well. I use files=99. It seems to be plenty. Make sure you have a set clipper=fxx in...

To compguy222 try files=99 in config.sys and set clipper=f81 in autoexec. I suspect that since there are only 255 handles available in dos, clipper is eating up 254 of them leaving none for dos devices such as your screen or the printer. I would suggest you move from s'87 to at least 5.2. It...

If you are on a network I would suggest that you send the report to a networked printer attached to another pc. We have a large hp 2100 on our server and can send hundreds of pages to it without error. However if we directly attach the printer to a pc and print to it we get the same error as...

Bob; I got your request but Aol would not let me send a reply. It also deleted your message before I could write down your email address. Please resend your email so I can reply. Bvolz3850@aol.com

REVINS; I HAVE AN EXE VERSION OF DBU THAT HAS A PASSWORD AND IS Y2K COMPATIBLE. YOU CAN MODIFY THE DBU SOURCE AND RECOMPILE AND LINK IT YOUR SELF. SIMPLY ADD THE SET EPOCH COMMAND TO THE TOP OF THE PROGRAM AND COMPILE AND LINK IT. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE EXE. BVOLZ3850@AOL.COM
