- Your Bonus when you register!!
-
- Schooner is a powerful, full featured database programming language
- in the style of Dbase III Plus(r) and Clipper(r) Summer 87.
-
- While programmed much the same way as these two "standards", Schooner
- provides a much easier and faster development environment as well as
- a "function" based language (as opposed to a command based language).
-
- In addition, Schooner has a complete set of graphics functions which
- allow you to custom build virtually any graphic screen desired. The
- graphics functions also allow you to display text and even accept
- user input.
-
- Schooner uses the industry standard Dbase(r) file format (and even
- the Clipper(r) extensions to that format) and the development
- environment contains a powerful text editor with all of the standard
- text editing features in addition to those features required to pre-
- compile and run your programs.
-
- Schooner can open and reference 9 databases at once, create and
- display graphics, print reports (custom or from templates created in
- the report writer) and provide complete, professional, stand-alone
- computer applications at a fraction of the cost and time required by
- other systems.
-
- Not only is the Schooner development environment provided, but the
- unlimited and royalty-free Schooner runtime module is included. This
- allows you to develop applications and then release as many copies of
- that application as desired. Simply distribute the SCHOONRT.EXE and
- SCHOONRT.OVL runtime modules with your pre-compiled .RUN modules and
- your application is complete.
-
-
- SHAREWARE CONCEPT

- This version of Schooner is distributed under the shareware plan. If
- you use Schooner it is requested that you register your copy.

- Shareware allows you, the user, the opportunity to preview and test
- Schooner to see if it meets your needs.
-
- We have tried hard to put together a quality product and we believe
- it to be competitive with the corresponding high priced, big company
- products.

- to all those who register this version. To see a preview of Version
- 2.00 GUI, run DEMO200.BAT (requires VGA display and mouse with mouse

- functions. Add full-color images to your applications. Display them
- along with text and data. Full mouse support is included. Build a
- professional Graphical User Interface (GUI) for your applications.

- SCHOONER 1.10 RELEASE NOTES
-
- The following modifications to version 1.00 have been included in
- this release:
-
- TONE(): The Tone() function was inadvertently left out of Version
- 1.00. This has been corrected.
-
- UDF(): The documentation for the UDF() function has been updated to
- reflect that the UDF() function does not return a value when assigned
- to an "MV" variable. You should pass data back through public "MV"
- variables. UDF() will return values when used in nested lines of
- code.
-
- E000: The E000 Clipper memory option is now documented and can be
- used to help resolve memory conflicts with DOS 5.00 and 6.00.
-
- MLCOUNT() and MEMOLINE(): The documentation for these functions has
- been modified to show that string variables and not files are used
- within the function.
-
- EXIT: The Exit option of the DO WHILE - ENDDO construct has been
- modified to properly handle exits from nested IF - ENDIF constructs.
- This caused rare subscript out of range errors.
