Hi Guys,

I am trying to recompile an old clipper program (summer 87) but i'm getting the following errors:
----------------------------------------------------
The following 17 symbols are undefined:

DEVICEPRES
OPENCOMM
TXSTRING
CONTROLRTS
SMRESET
SETBAUD
SMDIAL
RXFLUSH
TXFLUSH
SWGTIME
STATUSCD
SMSWHOOK
TXXMODEM
RXXMODEM
SMESCAPE
C_Y2K_DATE
CLOSECOMM

Fatal error 51
Undefined symbols exist
----------------------------------------------------

Does anyone knows where I can download library for those functions?

Thanks,

John

Hi,

I can't find any reference to the functions you've listed - it is clearly a comms library for clipper, but not one I've come across.

I found a lot of tools here:

http://www.the-oasis.net/ftpmaster.php3?content=ftplib.htm

It might be worth a look, to see if any of them have a reference to the library you're using.

I think I've found a clue, there is a library out there somewhere called iolib.lib...

It seems to have the commands you need.

I found a reference to it (in german) here:

http://www.codecomments.com/Clipper/message540900.html

If I get time I'll scout about for it.

The iolib.lib may no help much, although it is free.

I susepct the commands you have listed come from another third party library. I can't be sure, but the one I suspect it is was called SilverClip or SilverComm. From a company called SilverWare Inc. - who now don't have it listed on their site.

QBS have a few copies left, but no documentation about it - they could be worth phoning to see if they can send you a synopsis.

Good luck

Hi GriffMG, you are absolutely right those commands were from Silverware's Async Library.

Thanks!

Personally, I would get on to QBS and see if a deal can be done.

Another approach would be to ring the Silverware Inc people and see if they have any pointers... someone there might know something.

One other thing worth a try would be a new thread entitled 'does anyone have Silverware Async' on the clipper forum.

Good luck
Martin
