BLICPUREL()

[steve1222]

You know sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees.
I am using Clipper 5.2E and I have just upgraded to Blinker 7. With the Blinker I see there is a function called BLICPUREL() which will release time slices back to the computer and thus not load down the cpu.

For some reason I can not get my program to compile with this function. I get the error:
BLINKER : 1115 : MAIN.OBJ(MAIN) : 'BLICPUREL' : unresolved external

I was replacing the old ft_onidle( {||ft_iamidle()} ) as used from the LIBRARY NANFOR in hopes that the time release would work while in debug mode.

Here is the sample beginning code:

FUNCTION doit()
&& #IFDEF DEBUG
&& #ELSE
&& ft_onidle( {||ft_iamidle()} )
&& #ENDIF
BLICPUREL()

Thanks
Steve

That needs to be declared as an external procedure to your program. Check the syntax for this using Blinker 7.0--request and external statements.

Have a look at your linkscript and make sure everything needed is included.

Ian Boys,

When you said "Ask those nice people at Blink Inc. I'm sure that they will tell you. " I could not stop laughing. They are the most anti-customer service people I have never met or talked to or gotten a reply back to my e-mail.

When I ordered my Blinker 7.0 from them, it took 9 weeks after my credit card was charged for the software to arrive. Note that I am only located 250 miles from their offices.

If it wasn't for a good piece of software, I would have gone another route.

That's less than 4 miles a day, an average of 0.165 miles per hour!

My gripe is that they make a tiny but significant change, increase the number on the end a little bit and charge a fortune for the new release.

I think you need to include the BlxClp52.lib library file.

Hope that helps... but a bit late I expect.
