how to start up with BAT file

[petrovlis]

After 15 years I had to re-install Clipper 5.2 from
Floppy's and tried to begin again with this DOS program.
I need Clipper (or similar) to handle some dBase 3 and 4 files for a client.
So far so good,but I remember there was a cld.bat file
in the old days,mine now is not good, because
after command : cl xxx.prg it is asking for the Library
and after typing LIB ,asking also for EXTEND which I
don't know where that is located.
My present is:
clipper %1
if not errorlevel 1 rtlink file %1

installed in Clipper5 folder with subfolders:BIN,INCLUDE,LIB,OBJ,PLL,SOURCE.
I have default RTLinker,maybe switching to Blinker.
My prgs are in Clipper5 folder.

Thnaks for help.

Hi,

I use a batch file like this for a simple compile/link:

c:\lang\cl50\bin\clipper %1
blinker fi %1 lib c:\lang\cl50\lib\clipper,c:\lang\cl50\lib\extend, c:\lang\cl50\lib\terminal, c:\lang\cl50\lib\dbfntx

But, I use Blinker instead of linker!

Good luck

Regards

Griff
