I have clipper V.5.2 software. I would like to ask, how to use Clipper software, I did not find any executable file in the list of the program files. I heard that I must use an external editor to prepare my program. If I start my programming that way, then how to get to the clipper and in which file of the clipper shall I put my work which I have already in the editor.

It certainly is, as is RP> xBase++. Ok, here we go ... For the last four years i've bee working on an application that have been growing every day ... the database has 110 tables. I've been using CL52+Exospace+CATools3.0+SixIII(NSX flavour). The biggest tables have about 8000 records ... I've been thinking about the possibility of migrating to a new plataform (Linux), and use FlagShip as the migrating tool. I wish to know if there's sombody working with FlagShip (WGS Inc) for Linux, and most important, is there somebody using a DBMS with Flagship, if so, wich one ... How much it costs ? The RDD is ready to use ... or there's no RDD ... the RDD interface must be programmed ? The version of de DBMS is a Linux binary (elf) or is a Unix standard (a.out) but it runs fine on Linux ?

When you use RUN the application is still complete in memory and thus can react on the environment. When using SwpRunCmd() the application, as the functionname is telling you, is almost completely swapped to disk and out of the internal memory. So it can't react on his environment. In other words: the application is paused and stored temporary to disk until the SwpRunCmd() is finished. You can check that as follow: RUN MEM /c | more SwpRunCmd( "MEM /c | more" ) Then you will see the differences Regards, Paul Laney ...

You're a really beginner! SO that's a bit difficult to get you started from scrap. I guess you bought/got an unofficial pirate release? First you must install Clipper on your HD. It makes some dirs like: CLIP52----BIN | +--INCLUDE | +--LIB | +--SOURCE | +--OBJ In BIN you should encounter CLIPPER.EXE, PLINK.EXE, PE.EXE etc. In INCLUDE you should encounter some settings-files (xxxx.CH) In LIB you should be able to find CLIPPER.LIB In SOURCE some examples for programming In OBJ Clipper puts it's OBJ's AN> I heard that I must use an external editor to prepare my program. ...Indeed. PE.EXE will be able to edit your .PRG-files (the actually programming files), but you'll be far better off with an editor like QEDIT (it's called nowadays a bit different...). AN> If I start my programming that way, then how to get to the clipper and AN> in which file of the clipper shall I put my work which I have already AN> in the editor. ....For me I put al the related PRG-files for an aplication in a subdir under SOURCE. After programming something like: CLS @10 , 20 SAY "Hello World!" COLOR "GR*/N" Quit and saving it as MYAPP.PRG, you should compile it with clipper. The most elementary way is by CLIPPER MYAPP. By default Clipper will link in all the standard stuff, so this should work. But you don't have a working application yet! Clipper only makes an MYAPP.OBJ file which has to be linked into an EXE-file with the linker. Again the most standard way to do so is by typing: PLINK FI MYAPP. When done so, you should have an MYAPP.EXE in your directory which executes into a blank screen with a flashy announcement... ;-) Ofcourse this is not a complete programming course. I suggest you buy some books on the matter to get further tahn this rather elemantary stadium. Good Luck!
