Hi All
An odd question about an old issue from an old man
Compiled ( Clipper 5.3b ) and linked ( both exespace and blinker ) an old Clipper program ( under Win 7 );
.exe builded but do nothing, begin and immediatly end
Any idea ?

Had you made the program to be compatible by changing the properties?

Hi Esgici,
My question appear obvious, but: Did you change the files:
Config.nt:
Files=NNN
Buffers=NN
Autoexec.nt:
Set Clipper=/F:NNN

Thanks to interest Rathi
This is right way and possible of course.
I want only see some features exist only C53, such as
Code: Select all
@...GET CHECK : Create a new check box Get object and display it
@...GET LIST : Create a new list box Get object and display it
@...GET PUSH : Create a new push button Get object and display it
@...GET RADIO : Create a new radio button group Get object and display it
@...GET TBROWSE : Create a new TBrowse Get object and display it
As far as I understand, these features works both graphical and text modes and I really wondered how may be a check, list box and others.
And my problem isn't about these lines, because persists without these commands.
I guess problem is working media ( CMD / DOS box of Windows ) and may b related to memory models used by linkers ( blinker / exospaces ).
Anyway, thanks in advance

Hi Esgici,
sad you have trouble.
Problem is ExoSpace.
It's a 16-Bit Extender specifically(!) altered
for Clipper.It can be instructed to use
EMS 4.0 and Extended Memory.
The Screen-Descriptor could also
make trouble in Win7.
This gives trouble in 32-Bit Protected Mode Windows.
I don't think that Windows7 is able to control
Exospace and it's own Extender.
The only way might be DosBox.
I really believe, that it not possible to use
Exospace Programs under Win7.
But why not use HARBOUR 3.2 ?
It is ready for Windows in 32 and 64-Bits(if you compile).
And has almost all functions of Clipper53.
Just those special graphics functions will be missing.
I would try it the Harbour way.
Best wishes,
klauskugel

Hi Klaus
Thanks to your interest and valuable info and suggestions.
As notified my previous post, may problem has been solved.
I fully agree you about C53 and exospace; all new features of C53, including graphical innovations and especially exospace are for only kill Clipper, I think always.
My goal was seeing some features exist only C53, like @ ... GET CHECKBOX in text box.
it really work
:
- Checkbox in text mode
- TextChBox.JPG (19.68 KiB) Viewed 15764 times
and the source code :
Code: Select all
STORE SPACE (25) TO Name
STORE .T. TO Married
STORE SPACE (19) TO Phone
CLS
@ 5,10 SAY "Customer Name: " GET Name
@ 7,10 SAY "Married?: " GET Married CHECKBOX
@ 9,10 SAY "Home Phone: " GET Phone
READ
? ALLTRIM (Name) + " IS " + IIF(Married,"","NOT") + " Married."
?
WAIT "END OF CHECKBOX.PRG"
Quite impressive, is not it ?
