Hi all,
Found them!!!
They are part of the Funcky library.
I managed to download a Norton Guide for it from http://www.funcky.com/
Thanks for all the help. You'll make a Clipper programmer out of me yet!

Hi Griff
There is a SET PROCEDURE TO already and that file does not contain source code for either SETATTR or BOX (that was one of my first ports of call).
I think I'll start doing some testing on a copy of the system and change arguments one by one and note the changes they make...
Hi
Have run SNAP and it has thrown back some good stuff!
SETATTR appears in the XREF document, produced by SNAP, as a TOKEN.
Could someone please explain what TOKEN means in CLIPPER-speak?
However, BOX did not appear anywhere. Is it possible to use the BOX part of @.....BOX in a "standalone"...
He he! Glad to be of assistance Griff! :-D
My main problem is that I do not have a Clipper 87 manual, only the Norton Guide online. They are probably buried in an obj somewhere, which was the conclusion I was coming to. I just need to find the source to that mysterious obj!
I'll get there, I'm...
Thanks TonHu. I have been looking for something like that but no luck so far.
As I am new to all this, I was wondering if these were standard commands/functions or not.
Hi
I have two lines of code that are baffling me a bit as I cannot find these commands anywhere, so I cannot check the meaning of the parameter values. They are:
SETATTR (0,0,24,79,112,chr(32))
BOX (0,0,3,79,"",31)
Afew lines further on and the BOX statement appears again, but with more...
Indeed. Cultural nuances of the language need to be considered. I speak French and (to a lesser degree) Dutch. An ATM that greeted people with an informal message ("tu" instead of "vous", for example) would not be welcomed - this is both language and culture.
I work in the PC and networking...
Hi. I am very new here, so a good time to introduce myself here!
Brownie as my surname is Brown and Belgian... well, guess which country I live in!
Have just taken on the maintenance and support of a bespoke-written system for a small local company, written in Clipper Summer 87. I have never...

Thanks for the confirmation.
I used to programme in TAL (Tandem language), but that was in the 1980s! Similar constructs exist in TAL (DO WHILE true...), so indeed I am familiar with such concepts. However, I do need confirmation of the nuances of Clipper, and seeing code such as "the...
Sorry (it's getting late and I am getting tired!).
If no case is true then control will drop through to the ENDDO. If the last case is true, it will EXIT.
That's correct, isn't it?
thanks.
Stella740pl,
I see what you are saying. As it happens, the next statement after the ENDCASE just happens to be the ENDDO of the "master" loop, the "DO WHILE .T.".
There are other EXITS in the main loop, by the way.
A short and very simplified view of what I have is:
DO WHILE .T.
DO CASE...
Stella740pl,
Thanks. There is a main controlling "DO WHILE .T.". I guess it was the programmer's way of saying "that's it" and returning to the main program loop (a "go to", in my old cobol terminology!!). May not have been my method of choice of doing things.
There are about 20,000 lines of...

Thanks a lot. That is exactly as I read it as well. I am picking up some old code here and the person who wrote it was supposed to be an expert in Clipper! This is why I questioned it.
Another strange one, there is some code which contains a FOR... NEXT statement. However, after the NEXT...
Hello one and all. It's a long story that I will not go into, but after not programming since 1989, I have taken on the maintenance of a bespoke system for a small business in my area.
The system is written in Clipper Summer 87, a language that I have never seen before! I am making some good...
