CLACom Supplemental Information
The executible program that demonstrates many of the CLACom features
is contained within another archive called GTERMX.ZIP (not to be
confused with GTERM.ZIP which contains the source code for the
example program). GTERM.EXE is compiled as a static overlay, which
means its size is quite large. We compiled it this way so that those
who do not have Clarion Database Developer may try the program out.
We believe GTERM shows the true power of CDD and would like for anyone
who has been contemplating purchasing CDD or upgrading to it to see
this power in a real world application, rather than a simple Phone Book
database.
Clarion hard codes Directory Paths into the application properties.
When you first load the GTERM.APP an Error window will pop up telling
you that the GTERM.DCT file does not exist. Select OK and when the
Application Properties window appears, select the Dictionary File
field. A window will pop up and you may then select the GTERM.DCT
file. Back at the Application Properties window, select OK to save
your changes. You will now be presented with another Error window
telling you that the "FILE ALREADY EXISTS". Which file it is
refering to is not known, but it no doubt is refering to the GTERM.DCT
file. Select OK.
At this point, you will once again have to reload the GTERM.APP
file. This time, however, there will not be any error messages. But,
there is still a hidden, hard coded path. Select the Module View and
at the very bottom of the screen you will see the CLACOM.OBJ Module.
Highlight the module and press Enter. The Module Properties window
will appear. Select the Module Structure Include File field. At the
Select Include File window, select the CLACOM.INC file. Save your
changes and when you are back at the Module Worksheet, the GTERM
paths will now be hard coded to your directory structure instead of
ours!
Before compiling the GTERM Application, be sure to make the change
to your ROVERLAY.EXP file, as described in the Manual. You can
also copy ROVERLAY.EXP to GTERM.EXP and make the change to that file
instead.
NOTE: If you intend to look at the GTERM Clarion Source or modify
the Application, you need to unzip the GTERM.ZIP file in the
same directory where you placed your CLACom files. The reason
is that the GTERM APP will need to have access to your
CLACOM.INC, CLACOM.OBJ, and the CLACOM LIB files. If you place
the GTERM APP in its own directory you will need to copy the
CLACOM.INC, CLACOM.OBJ, and CLACOM LIB files into that directory.
