------------------------ Introduction -----------------------------
Super.Lib Library is a collection of Clipper Functions specifically
for handling data. They were designed with the following
guidelines:
1. Ease of use. Keep parameters to a minimum, and optional.
2. Data independance. Work with any datafile, anywhere, anytime.
3. Clean, attractive menu driven interface to the job at hand.
4. Drop-in to existing applications, requiring little or no setup.
5. Require no change in programming style by the user.
6. Leave things as found (colors, screens, etc)
7. Variable declared PRIVATE unless PUBLIC
8. Memory variables prefaced with 'm->' to avoid field conflicts
The library was built from the top down, starting with the major
functions and adding building block functions commonly shared by
the major functions. It has a particular scope and theme into which
most of the functions fall, and functions have not just been included
to boost a function count.
The library does not even attempt to be all things to all people.
The most I could hope for is that it provides 'some solutions for
some people', or at least 'some partial solutions for some people'.
The best way to get to know the library, is to compile, link and
study the file example programs. (see EXAMPLES.DOC)
------------------------ Shareware -----------------------------
SuperLib started off in the Shareware market, with version 1.25,
and continued as shareware through version 1.51. With the release
of SuperLib Professional, SuperLib was withdrawn from the shareware
market.
As of January 1993, we are releasing SuperLib 2.50 NETWORK as
shareware.
------------------------ License ----------------------------------------
You are granted the right to use this program on a trial basis for
as long as you like, for the purpose of evaluation only.
DO NOT CALL FOR SUPPORT IF YOU ARE NOT A REGISTERED USER.
Registration is required prior to use of Super.Lib Library in
distributed executable programs. See ORDER.DOC to order.
Super.Lib Library may not be incorporated into other Libraries, in
whole or in part, original or altered.
I encourage you to upload the shareware version of the library to
bulletin boards you frequent, as long as the full shareware version
and all shareware files are uploaded.
------------------------ Registration -----------------------------------
Registration, in addition to full source code, printed manual, Norton
Guide datafile and 30 days written support, grants you a license
to create unlimited executables (.EXE) files.
This is essentially a Summer 87 product, so the source code is
Summer 87 source code. It works quite well under Clipper 5.01, but if you
are working with 5.01, you should get SuperLib 3.0, the 5.01 optimized
version. (See SUPER30.DOC)
Registration does not entitle you to distribute, sell or even give
away the library itself , portions of the library , or modified copies
of the library.
You may not decompile the library, or executables created with
the library.
You may not use the library to create another
library which you then distribute, for profit or not.
In short, any portion of the library going FROM you TO anyone else
must be in compiled executable format (.EXE), and may not be in
object format.
