- ClipXMS version 1.10 (demo version)
- ===================================
-
-
- Introduction
- ------------
-
- Thank you for reviewing this demo version of ClipXMS, the XMS/EMS memory
- solution for Clipper 5.
-
- Please read MANUAL.TXT for instructions on how to use ClipXMS.
-
-
- Product Announcement
- ------------------------
-
- Greg Martin, the author of OverLay()*, and the co-author of ExoSpace* and
- ProVision:Windows* is proud to announce the arrival of ClipXMS, the XMS/EMS
- memory solution for Clipper 5.
-
- ClipXMS allows real-mode Clipper applications to use XMS (extended) memory,
- freeing Clipper from its total dependence on EMS (expanded) memory. Just
- link ClipXMS into your application and end your worries about your user's
- computer configuration. Every memory manager configuration is compatible
- with Clipper when using ClipXMS.
-
- End your user's CONFIG.SYS nightmares with ClipXMS!
-
-
- Benefits of ClipXMS include:
- ----------------------------
-
- 1) Allows Clipper 5 to transparently use either XMS or EMS memory.
-
- 2) No more end-user configuration worries. Every memory manager
- configuration is compatible with Clipper using ClipXMS.
-
- 3) Lets the end-user disable EMS memory, potentially freeing up more DOS
- memory for your Clipper application by allowing your user to move more
- device drivers and other TSRs into upper memory.
-
- 4) Compatible with all linkers including Blinker 3.0's dual mode.
- (Please note that ClipXMS is compatible with, but does not benefit
- protected mode programs linked with ExoSpace and Blinker 3.0)
-
- 5) Can substantially increase performance of your Clipper application on
- 2 MB 286 computers using the HIMEM.SYS driver.
-
- 6) Inform users when they have no XMS/EMS memory manager installed.
-
-
- Demo Version
- ------------
-
- This demo version of ClipXMS has been made available to allow you the
- opportunity to try out ClipXMS before you purchase it. When you link this
- demo version of ClipXMS into your application, your application will
- display the following message at the top of the screen during startup and
- pause for five seconds:
-
- "This application is using a demo version of ClipXMS..."
-
- The five second pause is used only to give the user the time to read the
- message. In the release version of ClipXMS, no message is displayed at
- startup and no pause occurs.
-
- After about five minutes of operation, your application will quit with the
- following message:
-
- "The ClipXMS demo time limit has elapsed, terminating application..."
-
- As a sidenote, the release version contains less code than this demo
- version due to the fact that the demo version has extra overhead printing
- the above messages and keeping track of the elapsed time.
-
