What's New in ClipHelp (C) vs. 1.1
__________________________________
My thanks to all those who have registered their usage of ClipHelp or
who have written or phoned from many countries - sometimes at hours
which left me wondering about the prudence of including my telephone
number - in response to which I am pleased to release this new and
improved Shareware version.
New features in ClipHelp vs 1.1 affect Clipper 5 users only - there are
no changes in this release affecting Clipper Summer '87 users.
Changes:
* Clipper 5 .OBJ module now contains no PUBLIC or PRIVATE
variables.
* Module now contains only LOCAL or file-wide STATIC variables.
* Now needs only one line to be added to application source code
to access all ClipHelp facilities.
* Context-sensitivity now achieved by calling a function to pass
string/code to ClipHelp - avoids PUBLIC variable declaration.
* Almost 20% reduction in .OBJ file size.
* Improved speed through smaller size and revised variable
scoping.
Details of changes and how they affect installation and use are to be
found in the manual - CLIPHELP.DOC - at the following places:-
9. Adding context-sensitivity to your HELP.TXT file
12. Clipper 5 version - Declarations in your application
There is also a replacement HLPC501.LIB which I believe is a little
faster than the one included with version 1.00, though it is not
essential that this replacement be used.
