- Several libraries have been released under the shareware concept.
- To give this library more exposure to the user community, it has been
- decided that the release verion 2.0 for Summer '87 Clipper will also
- be released this way. This is a full working version. Not a demo. This
- is the library that is shipped when an order is received. The decision
- to do this was made for several reasons, none of which will I go into at
- this time.
-
- For those of you who are not current license holders, please, if you like
- and/or use this package, register your copy. A registration form can be
- found in the REGISTER.DOC file.

- Version 2.0 is now ready! The old demo programs have been provided as
- well as a few others. Please use these as a reference in using the
- Windows For Clipper functions.
-
- Enjoy!
-
- Dated - Mar 7, 1988
-
- Beta testing was extended due to several new function additions to the
- library. Expected Shipping date for Windows For Clipper Ver. 2.0
- (Summer '87 edition) is scheduled no later than March 14th. Again, sorry
- for the delay.
-
- Dated - Feb 2, 1988
-
- Please be patient. The update to Summer '87 is in beta test and will be
- ready soon. I think you will be pleased with the extra time taken on this
- release. It will support new functions, and function improvements that will
- affect the operational speed and versatility of the package. You will be
- notified of the update, or receive your update free depending on purchase
- date as soon as it is ready.

-
- A new file has been included with package. This file demonstrates
- adding a record in a database using the Windows For Clipper
- package and Clipper itself. This file has several things that
- you may find useful such as a function that will present a message
- and request a reponse through use of a window and others. Please
- print the source code before compiling, linking and running the
- program. I think you will find it interesting.
-
- The file name is WN_ADD.PRG
-
- Dated - July 20, 1987
-
- The WDEMO.EXE file is no longer include with the Windows For Clipper
- Package due to lack of disk space. The source file is still included.
- If you would like to compile and link the demo to create an executable
- version, Please execute the following link commands after compiling the
- WDEMO.PRG file.
-
- FOR PLINK86 --- PLINK86 FI wdemo, cursor LIB clipper, memo, clipwind verbose
-
- FOR MS/PC -DOS LINK.EXE --- LINK wdemo cursor,,,CLIPPER MEMO CLIPWIND
-
- This will create the executable version of the demo program.
-
- A new file has been included with the package. This file demonstrates
- a visual sequential search within a window. Please refer to the
- WN_SEARC.PRG file to examine the source. Compile, link and watch
- the results. This and many more techniques can be used with the Windows
- For Clipper routines. If you have any examples or ideas, please send
- them to me. I will be happy to pass them along.

- FUTURE UPDATES

- Dated - June 29, 1987

- For previous users (the lucky ones), updates/upgrades have been
- provided free of charge. This policy has now been changed. In
- the future, all newly registered user will receive one free
- update/upgrade. After that, all update/upgrades will cost $10.00.
- All previously registered users will also be charged for any
- updates/upgrades after this release (Ver. 1.21).

- have received 2 or more.

- Windows For Clipper Demo Notes.
- -------------------------------
-
- Changes have been made to the demo program. You may be interested in
- seeing these new changes. The demo now shows how easy it is to interact
- with Clipper. A new section was added to the end of the demo to demonstrate
- using Windows For Clipper with the MEMOEDIT function, and standard @ row, col
- commands provided with the compiler. Run the demo and watch what it does.
- Then look at the source code and see how easy it was to accomplish. The
- results are rather dramatic considering the small amount of code it took to
- implement.

- will be included.
-
-
-
- FOR THOSE PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED
- -------------------------------
- A new file has been included (WINDEXT.PRG). A simple file that declares
- all window functions as external. This is handy in those applications that
- do not make explicit calls to the window functions. Very usefull if your
- application makes calls to the window functions via macros. Please examine
- this file for more info and an interesting idea.
-
- New key support added to the WN_DBF() function. The documentation has been
- changed to reflect the new support.
-
- Further enhancements to the WN_DBF() function have been implemented. Improved
- scrolling and limited parameter expression evaluation has been included.
- Please refer to the CLIPWIND.DOC file, WN_DBF() reference for a detailed
- explanation.
-
- Reference section on the SWTE_REC() function is now more thorough in
- describing this function. In past releases it was sparse at best.
- Please review this section for further details.
