Intro Me
Hi all,
As is apparently customary on this board, allow me to introduce myself.
After learning dBase III as a student (in the eighties!), I started coding in Clipper (Summer 87). Then used Clipper professionally for document management applications. While owning a local radiostation in the 90’s wrote all applications for it (record collection management, publicity planning, radio automation, physical access management (!),) in Clipper 5.2 and Succesware Six driver (NSX).
Tried to convert to Windows at the time using FiveWin (was not very stable in the beginning), CA Visual Objects, even did effort using VB & Apollo, but finally gave up, due to either unstable, steep learning curve or unsatisfactory database browses.
I wrote a record collection program and launched it as “shareware”, which still holds my own record collection and a few of my friends'. It still runs natively under Windows 7 32 bits, but only with some “tricks” (DosBox) under 64 bit Windows, so time to convert to Windows (like the 64 bit version of HMG ).
Expectation from HMG: backward compatibility , flawless browses , drag & drop, audio integration with Bass library http://www.un4seen.com/bass.html , for which I hope for some assistance from the board-members .

Hearty welcome...
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Re: Intro Me
Wellcome Clip2Mania:
You'll find HMG is the best programming tool for thoseone who becomes from Clipper and similar databasemanagers.-
It's really powerfull and with a little effort let's you convert your old applications and increase them with new functions.-
I don't know if your expectations about BASS library will be satisfied, perhaps next months we will learn about that sound libraries.-
Again, wellcome
