- DGROUP.ZIP version 2.0
-
- Copyright(C) 1993, Robert G. Montgomery. All Rights Reserved.
-
- DGROUP.ZIP is a compressed file containing a collection of text files and
- program source files, allowing for monitoring and manipulating an area of
- memory known as DGROUP, which exists in programs created using CA-Clipper
- (hereafter referred to as Clipper), a product of Computer Associates
- International. CA-Clipper is a trademark of Computer Associates
- International.
-
- The included program source files are as follows:
- DG_UTIL.C - allows monitoring of DGROUP status.
- FIX669.C - adjusts _estatlow downward.
- FIX668.PRG - adjusts _evalhigh upward.
- VIEWSTAT.PRG - allows viewing VALUES for all static variables and ITEMs.
-
- Also included:
- README.TXT - the file you are reading.
- DGROUP.TXT - a general discussion of DGROUP and its relationship to Clipper.
-
- Other Files:
- DGROUP.LIB - compiled version of above program files. Compiled with Borland
- C++ or Clipper 5.2c, whichever is appropriate.
-
-
- You are hereby granted rights to include the functions contained within
- DGROUP.ZIP in your application programs, free of charge, and if you deem
- necessary, you may also distribute the source for the functions with the
- source for any applications which use them. You are also granted rights
- to distribute DGROUP.ZIP in its whole form to anyone who has an interest
- in it, free of charge, using whatever means available, including uploading
- to any BBS or similar forum, for public access by anyone who may be
- interested in it.

- Such compensation is not necessary to use or distribute the functions
- provided in DGROUP.ZIP, but it would be nice <bg>!.
-
- Note that the information and functions provided in DGROUP.ZIP are based
- on information gathered by the author from messages posted in the Clipper
- forum on Compuserve (many thanks to all who provided information). Many
- of the functions are based on UNDOCUMENTED public variable references
- defined within CLIPPER.LIB, and therefore, they will probably not work
- with future versions of Clipper (see source for more information on this).
- The information and functions provided with DGROUP.ZIP are provided on an
- "AS IS" basis. There is no guarantee or warrantee of any kind, either
- expressed or implied, as to its ability or inability to solve any
- particular problem using any version of Clipper.
-
- USE THE FUNCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
-
- Stored within the file DGROUP.ZIP is the file DGROUP.LIB, which is a library
- file containing the compiled versions of all the source code included in
- DGROUP.ZIP, with the Clipper source being compiled with Clipper version
- 5.2c. This library file will only work when linked with Clipper
- applications which were compiled with Clipper 5.2c. For other versions of
- Clipper, compile the Clipper source included in DGROUP.ZIP and update
- DGROUP.LIB using a library file manager. The C source may be compiled using
- any C compiler that is compatible with Clipper. The Clipper manuals show
- how to compile using Microsoft C, look to the Clipper forum on CIS for
- information on compiling using any other C compiler. The C code only
- accesses functions defined within CLIPPER.LIB, it does not access any
- functions provided as part of any C compiler run-time libraries.
-
- Note that all Clipper compiled OBJs linked into an application, including
- any which is part of a library file, must be compiled under the same
- version of Clipper, and linked with the that same version of CLIPPER.LIB
- and EXTEND.LIB. Failure to do this may result in Unrecoverable Error 666
- and/or 999.
-
- All functions in DGROUP, except for fix_UE668(), will only work when linking
- with Clipper version 5.2, and hopefully later. fix_UE668() works with
- Clipper versions 5.0-5.2.
