Clipper executable
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 ?

Re: Clipper executable
Had you made the program to be compatible by changing the properties?
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Re: Clipper executable
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 RathiRathinagiri wrote:Had you made the program to be compatible by changing the properties?
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
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

Re: Clipper executable
Hi All
( By an odd method ) : Changed only name of .prg
The old name was a Clipper Keyword
Thanks to all

Re: Clipper executable
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

Re: Clipper executable
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 :
and the source code :
Quite impressive, is not it ?
