My reason for wanting to use Clipper instead of Harbour is that a print problem happens with the Harbour version of the code, so I want to use the Clipper version (which can’t run on 64-bit) to figure out what should be happening instead, and to also confirm that any changes to get the Harbour version working don’t result in breaking the Clipper version. So setting up a virtual 32-bit development environment is the next thing to get sorted out.
#CLIPPER 5.3 FOR WINDOWS AND DOS 5.3 INSTALLATION INSTALL#Įventually after installing a 32-bit version of vista (I won’t track down a 32-bit version of xp or 7 just yet), I work through a complicated series of steps to install clipper, harbour, sublime text, the printer, and configuring them all, so that I’m at last ready to compile and develop for Clipper. After setting up autoexec.nt and config.nt which apply when running dos-based programs and, but not cmd – and it’s just gone 9pm. One of the printing problems involves printing out to a text file. It seems that a problem occurs around a IsThisADir() function that comes from the DIRCHANGE() Function page, which I find to be due to using version 5.2 of Clipper when version 5,3 needs to be used instead. Okay – so upgrading to 5.3 is next to be done. Installing 5.3 wasn’t all that tricky, but setting up the environment variables certainly had its issues. #CLIPPER 5.3 FOR WINDOWS AND DOS 5.3 INSTALLATION SOFTWARE#.#CLIPPER 5.3 FOR WINDOWS AND DOS 5.3 INSTALLATION PATCH#.#CLIPPER 5.3 FOR WINDOWS AND DOS 5.3 INSTALLATION INSTALL#.EXE application from a shell written in C+ and return error codes to the shell which can deal with the error and respond accordingly. I did find that my version of Clipper doesn't trap as many errors as I would like so I Through Windows XP, including Lantastic and Novell networks running over DOS as well as Windows networks. I have found Clipper to produce extremely well behaved programs under virtually any operating system from DOS The lost data in 1993 so I simply e-mailed them the program and poof no more problems. They had a corrupted database with errant EOF markers and I had written a program in C to correct that and recover nearly all of I couldn'tīelieve that they were still using it on a daily basis after 19 years. Much to my surprise I got my first call for support in 2009.
I wrote a program for a company in Clipper 5.1 (DOS) in 1990, installed and tested it on their Novell network and that was it.
