- Wconvert Version 1.0
- By Jim Holley
- Copyright (C) 1988
-
-
- This document describes the usage of the Wconvert utility provided
- with the Summer '87 version of Windows For Clipper.
-
-
- What is Wconvert ?
-
- Wconvert is a utility that will convert your Autumn '86 Clipper source
- code that calls the Windows For Clipper library functions to the calling
- syntax required by the Summer '87 version of the library. The utility is
- very simple and straight forward in it use.
-
- All functions in the Windows For Clipper library are now prefixed
- with an underscore character. Wconvert will apply this prefix on any
- Windows For Clipper function calls in your source files.
-
-
-
- To use Wconvert, follow these simple instructions:
-
- C:> Wconvert [source file name]
-
- Where [source file name] is the name of one of your source files
- containing Windows For Clipper function calls.
-
- Using this calling syntax, Wconvert will read the source file and send
- all output to the screen. You can do this to see what Wconvert does to
- your source code. When you feel comfortable that Wconvert is not going
- to destroy your masterpiece, you should run it again in the following
- manner:
-
- C:> Wconvert [source file name] >[destination file name]
-
- Where [source file name] is the name of your source file. The '>'
- is the DOS redirection operator, and [destination file name] is the
- name of the destination file the output will be sent to. Wconvert
- uses DOS redirection to create the converted source file.
-
- The destination file name should ALWAYS be different than the source
- file name. DOS may truncate the file if both names are the same, before
- Wconvert gets a chance to read it and will result in losing the entire
- contents of the file.
-
- For more information on DOS redirection, please refer to your DOS
- manual.
