USE OF DISK CACHING SOFTWARE
Recently, several users began commenting on an apparent bug related to
the printing of records. Some users (most) had no trouble, while
others could only get partial printouts. After many nights of
hair-pulling it was discovered that programs compiled using Clipper
don't like disk caching software! Gee, and all along I thought that
I'd done something wrong!!!
Beginning with v3.63 file buffers are forced to clear before and after
disk I/O. Depending on the way in which the caching software resides
and controls RAM this should solve the problem. If it doesn't, get in
touch with me and let me know what software you are using. Then set
up Scanner Buff! in a batch file that disables your caching software.
This should work for all users.
I have done some additional coding in this area of the program to ensure
consistency and I hope that no other problems exist. I have tested the
program under all DOS versions from 3.0 and above.
I depend on bug reports, so please don't hesitate to get in touch with
me.
