Why this Library? Well sure, you see libraries that will control
your Printer, make Boxes, handle Arrays or a number of Date func-
tions, but; have you ever seen a .LIB that would perform extensive
Time, Date, HP Laser Printer, Environmental, Electronic, Ham Radio
or Audio formula calculations? How about instant-display of sche-
matic circuits and diagrams for reference, or display and hear the
frequencies of a telephone? (sort-of!)
We put 2 years into this pup, and except for 4 modules that had to
be written in 'C' or .ASM, the rest is pure Clipper code! Although
we have moved into the realm of 5.0x and GUI and ... well you know.
The first release will be for Clipper Summer '87. We did this for
the simple reason that a number of you just don't want to switch,
and we WANT your business too!
I kept this intro short, so as not to: (1) bore you, and (2), get
to the heart of its functions and use... Although it is being offer-
ed as 'SHAREWARE'... (you know this was comming)! To get the source
code and the rest of the fucntions ... send your bucks! We will do
the rest.
EXTRA'S!
There are a number of functions that ARE-NOT listed, but will be
included in the shareware and registered version. See !README.DOC
Also send in your ideas or modifications that you need or fixes that
we missed. We want you a happy camper so we can sell a few of these,
and get moved back to the West Coast. (I HATE BEING LAND-BOUND, I
*NEED* MY OCEAN, CLEAN-AIR, AND NON-SMOKERS BACK!!!!!)
In time, I will have a direct BBS for support, for the time being,
you can call: SILICON ALLY at (817)294-4566 for updates and com-
plaints (sure we take those too!) They have offered to do this for
us, and you can leave mail directly to me. If for some reason they
'close shop', we will PostCard you another location.
FUTURE ITEMS
I am already working on interfacing the outside world for the next
version of TMCEL.LIB! I have planed, an IN() and OUT function like
BASIC Programs have; this way, you can do D/A and A/D, or control
projects such as home security systems, open/close blinds, start
the java in the morning... how about automating some operation or
calling and polling a remote site for collecting data. And MORE,
how about data aquisition control or automate that model RailRoad!
Mouse support will also be added, as well as reading various types
of picture files: .GIF, .PCX, .TIFF ... etc. etc.
NOTE: You will find a separate file called: TMCELBN.DOC
which lists SOME of the various Schematic screens
used in performing calculations, as well as look-
up tables for reference...these are in the regis-
tered version.
HERE GOES!
LAST MINUTE INFO
As usual, for last-minute updates, read the !README.DOC file that
is located on the disk, or in the .ZIP file *FIRST*.

LINKING the .LIB
Before Compiling/Linking we would like to suggest that some
environment variables be set *FIRST*, as follows in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT:
SET CLIPPER=F65,V22,R26,E0
The reason for the F65, is for network purposes, you may want
to ajust this down to F41 on standalone systems. Setting "V" &
"R" are up to you. We have found that if "E" is set to Zero (0),
you will avoid the posiblilty of a "System Crash", do to the
dreaded "OUT OF MEMORY" or Index's-corrupting-for-*NO*-appearent
-reason syndrome!
We *ONLY* work with just one, and that is Blinker! A two second
re-link beats the "P - word" linker, that will take 7-20 minutes,
so why use it? GO FIGURE ... If you use another, that's up to
you; so here's the command sequence for Blinker on the command
line:
BLINKER FI <files> LI TMCEL, CLIPPER, EXTEND <--<< order IS important!
------------------------------------------------------------------
From a batch (.BAT) file, our example would look like this:
BLINK.BAT - the following lines are in this .BAT:
CLIPPER %1
BLINKER FI %1 LI TMCEL, CLIPPER, EXTEND
DEL %1.OBJ
------------------------------------------------------------------
BLINK1.BAT - another approach when using a .LNK file:
CLIPPER %1
BLINKER @FILENAME.LNK <--<< the .LNK is NOT necessary
The FILENAME.LNK would have the following layout:
#BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF <--<< remove the '#' sign to save
FI %1 .EXE size; of course, you will
LI TMCEL LOOSE line numbers on errors.
LI CLIPPER, EXTEND
So there are a few simple ways to handle the process.
SO YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR *OWN* LIBRARY ... HERE'S HOW
You should have a copy of LIB.EXE 3.17 or newer. Older versions
will cause a "1005:lib. has NO cross reference", annoying error
from Blinker, but is NOT critical!
The Syntax would be: LIB <LIBNAME> <SWITCHS+OBJECT> ;
EXAMPLE: LIB TMCEL -+_MODULE1 -+_MODULE2 -+_MODULE3 ;
This will create/update TMCEL.LIB with the list of .OBJ files
you passed it. SIMPLE!
The steps are as follows:
1. Compile your FILENAME.PRG file (some may require the -m switch),
so that only the main modules is compiled.
2. Add/Update the module (.OBJ) to your library
List of switchs: + add .OBJ to the Library
- remove .OBJ from the Library
* extract .OBJ name without removing
-+ replace .OBJ in the Library
-* extract .OBJ and remove from Library
THE LAYOUT
The library is broken down into groups of related use, so you
can find a function fast. They are:
■ ELECTRONIC ■ AUDIO ■ MATH
■ WINDOWS ■ DATE/TIME ■ TOOLS
■ SCHEMATIC/DIAGRAMS ■ NETWORK
So lets go through them one group at a time ...
