L I B R A R Y version 4.00
For CA-Clipper 5.2x
(Eval Version)
(c)1989-1994 by Softwarebureau Pepijn Smits
Thanks for taking a look at the Expand Library. There is currently hardly
any last minute information to be added. Refer to the Norton Guide for any
information. Refer to the XPDEMO directory for the demo program of the
Expand Library.
1. Installation:
Install the Library by Typing INSTALL (you may copy the contents of the
ZIP to a disk, but installing from a directory is okay too). If you do not
want to use the installation program, you may simply execute the
individual XP-???.EXE files. Those programs expand into some files,
this is what they contain:
File Contains
XP-LIB.EXE EXPAND.LIB and EXPAND.LNK
XP-INC.EXE EXPAND.CH
XP-DOC.EXE EXPAND.NG
XP-DEM.EXE XPDEMO Directory
XP-UPD.EXE UPDATE Directory
XP-NGD.EXE NGDEMO Directory
2. Clipper 5.01
Important note for Clipper 5.01x users: The Expand Library supports
Clipper 5.01. However, the XPDEMO program assumes the presence of
COMMON.CH, which was added with Clipper 5.2. We cannot include
that file with the product. Below you'll find the commands similar to
those found in COMMON.CH that are used by the Demo program:
#translate ISNIL( <v1> ) => ( <v1> == NIL )
#translate ISARR( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "A" )
#translate ISBLOCK( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "B" )
#translate ISCHAR( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "C" )
#translate ISDATE( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "D" )
#translate ISLOG( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "L" )
#translate ISMEMO( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "M" )
#translate ISNUM( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "N" )
#translate ISOBJ( <v1> ) => ( valtype( <v1> ) == "O" )
#xcommand DEFAULT <v1> TO <x1> [, <vn> TO <xn> ] ;
=> ;
if <v1> == nil ; <v1> := <x1> ; end ;
[; if <vn> == nil ; <vn> := <xn> ; end ]
#command UPDATE <v1> IF <exp> TO <v2> ;
=> ;
if <exp> ; <v1> := <v2> ; end
You may include similar commands in a COMMON.CH, and compile the demo.
Also, the XPDEMO program uses the compilerswitch /es2, which was introduced
with CA-Clipper 5.2. When compiling with Clipper 5.01, simply remove
the /es2 switch from the Compiler options in XPDEMO.RMK.
Furthermore, you may add a similar function if the linker complains
over not finding the CLIPPER520 symbol:
Function Clipper520()
Return (NIL)
3. Latest version:
The latest version of the Expand Libary is always placed on CompuServe on the
CLIPPER forum. Look for XP???.ZIP where ??? is a version number. The
latest version will also always be posted on Hekom BBS: +31-3483-4072
