Dear CA-Clipper 5.2 Developer,
The CA-Clipper 5.2d/ExoSpace 1.0f upgrade described in this file
contains latest fixes for CA-Clipper and CA-Clipper/ExoSpace.
This includes an updated version of the DBFMDX driver revised to
be compatible with the CA-Clipper/Compiler Kit. The DBFMDX database
collation drivers are now CA-Clipper/ExoSpace compatible also.
The DBFCDX driver has not been changed. We are currently working on
a separate patch for it. It will be published as soon as it is ready.
If you have any questions, please contact your CA-Clipper
Level-1 Technical Support representative.
This file contains:
A. The instructions for applying the CA-Clipper 5.2d upgrade to any
International version of CA-Clipper 5.2 including: 5.20, 5.2a,
5.2b or 5.2c.
It also contains instructions for applying the CA-Clipper 5.2d/
ExoSpace 1.0f upgrade. This is needed ONLY if you have a previous
version of ExoSpace installed on your system.
If you DO NOT have ExoSpace already installed, please answer NO
to the question "Do you have ExoSpace installed" during
the upgrade process and only the Clipper files will be updated.
Please review the file list below and the UPDATE PROCESS
instructions carefully before applying the upgrade.
B. The problem resolutions contained in CA-Clipper 5.2d.

52DIX.TXT Instructions for upgrading to
CA-Clipper 5.2d/ExoSpace 1.0f and the list of
problem resolutions (This file).
THE FOLLOWING FILES ARE FOR PERFORMING EXOSPACE UPDATE:
EXO10F.RTP Update file for ExoSpace
EXNG-10F.RTP Update file for ExoSpace NG
UPDATE PROCESS:
1. Move to your CA-Clipper 5.2 directory.
EXAMPLE: C:\> CD\CLIPPER5
2. Backup your current version of CA-Clipper.
Do the same for ExoSpace IF you already have it installed.
3. If you have Clipper 5.2, 5.2a, 5.2b or 5.2c AND have any problems
installing the upgrade, please reinstall Clipper from the original
disks and reapply the upgrade.
To determine the version of Clipper that you currently have.
At the DOS prompt type
Clipper then press return
At the top of the screen, there will be the copyright header with
the version number.
4. Execute the installation program and follow its simple
instructions.
EXAMPLE: A:\> INSTALL
- or -
EXAMPLE: C:\> A:INSTALL
NOTE: All the files that are upgraded must be on the same drive.
5. After the installation program has run successfully compare the
date and time stamps of the updated files against the
LIST OF UPDATED FILES section.
6. If you have applied the CA-Clipper 5.2d upgrade in a directory
other than the one into which you installed the original
CA-Clipper 5.2 version, you must make sure that your
PATH, INCLUDE, OBJ, and LIB environment variables have been
correctly set to point to the updated version of CA-Clipper.
Example:
(Scenario: You installed CA-Clipper 5.2 in C:\CLIPPER5
and later renamed the directory (or moved the files)
to C:\CLIP52D.)
A:\ SET PATH=C:\CLIP52D\BIN
A:\ SET INCLUDE=C:\CLIP52D\INCLUDE
A:\ SET OBJ=C:\CLIP52D\OBJ
A:\ SET LIB=C:\CLIP52D\LIB
NOTE: You should also change these settings in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
7. If you are using the CA-Clipper 5.2 International Nation
Modules, run NATION.BAT to extract the 5.2d versions of these
files. See NATION.DOC in your \CLIPPER5 directory for detailed
instructions.
8. Move to your DBU directory, define RTLINK's behavior and
re-compile DBU.
EXAMPLE:
A:\> C:
C:\NG> CD \CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU> SET RTLINKCMD=
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU> SET CLIPPERCMD=
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU> RMAKE DBU /F
Copy DBU.EXE to your BIN directory.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU> COPY DBU.EXE C:\CLIPPER5\BIN
9. Move to your RL directory, re-compile RL.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\DBU> CD \CLIPPER5\SOURCE\RL
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\RL> RMAKE RL /F
Copy RL.EXE to your BIN directory.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\RL> COPY RL.EXE C:\CLIPPER5\BIN
10. Move to your PE directory, re-compile PE.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\RL> CD \CLIPPER5\SOURCE\PE
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\PE> RMAKE PE /F
Copy PE.EXE to your BIN directory.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\PE> COPY PE.EXE C:\CLIPPER5\BIN
11. Move to your PLL directory, rebuild BASE52.PLL and BASE52.PLT.
EXAMPLE:
C:\CLIPPER5\SOURCE\PE> CD \CLIPPER5\PLL
C:\CLIPPER5\PLL> RTLINK @BASE52
Do not become alarmed if the message: "Undefined Symbols...
should be resolved at EXE generation" appears during this
step.
12. The update process is now complete.
