- File List
- ---------
-
- This patch package should contain the following files:
-
- File Name Description
- --------- -----------
- CSY2B.RTP Patch file to convert v2.0a to v2.0b
- CSYEXO.BAT Batch file to apply ExoSpace patch
- CSYEXO.RTP Patch file for ExoSpace version of CLASSY.LIB
- CSYPATCH.DOC This text file
-
- These files should be copied into the directory in which Class(y) is
- installed before applying any of the patches. Also, please ensure that
- PATCH.EXE, which was supplied on the Class(y) v2.0a distribution disk, is
- either in the current directory or in the path.
-
-
- Updating Class(y) v2.0a to v2.0b
- ================================
-
- Changes in v2.0b
- ----------------
-
- Class(y) v2.0b fixes three problems that were found in v2.0a, including
- two compatibility problems with Clipper 5.2.
-
- * A bug in the Class(y) enhanced object inspector could lead to
- errors and termination of the application when viewing class
- objects in the inspector. Version 2.0b corrects this.
-
- * Under Clipper 5.2 with Class(y) v2.0a, the Clipper debugger's
- default object inspector did not operate correctly - it would only
- allow an object to be viewed once. This has been corrected
- in version 2.0b.
-
- * When linking with .RTLink, using Class(y) v2.0a and Clipper 5.2,
- Class(y) modules could cause a warning message "Undefined external
- CLIPPER501" to be generated. Version 2.0b corrects this.
-
- Applying the Patch
- ------------------
-
- To apply the patch for Class(y) 2.0b, you should have a complete
- installation of Class(y) v2.0a on your hard disk. Eight files are
- updated, including the READ.ME file, so if you do not have Class(y)
- fully installed you should reinstall it from the v2.0a distribution
- disk, according to the instructions in the v2.0a READ.ME file, before
- attempting to apply this patch.
-
- Change to the directory which contains Class(y) v2.0a and ensure that
- the patch files are contained in that directory, along with the patch
- program PATCH.EXE, as described in the File List section earlier.
- Execute the following command to apply the patch:
-
- PATCH CSY2B
-
- When the patch process is complete, the directory should contain a
- complete copy of Class(y) v2.0b. If you experience any problems, you
- may need to reinstall v2.0a from the original distribution disk before
- applying the patch.
-
- If you have copies of the Class(y) libraries or header files in other
- directories on your system, you should ensure that you copy the new
- 2.0b files over the older files. The updated files are CLASSY.LIB,
- CLASSY2.CH, CSYINSP.LIB, CYERRSYS.OBJ, and READ.ME. New files are
- CSYHASH.C, CSYHASH.OBJ, and CYBASE52.LNK.
-
- Please read the patched READ.ME file for further information about
- Class(y) v2.0b.
-
-
- The ExoSpace Patch
- ==================
-
- ExoSpace is an exciting new product jointly developed by ObjecTech, Inc.
- and SofDesign International, Inc. It allows Clipper applications to run
- in protected mode, giving applications direct access to extended memory,
- reducing or eliminating the need for virtual memory swapping, and
- improving performance. For more information about ExoSpace, please
- call SofDesign International at 214-644-0098.
-
- The batch file CSYEXO.BAT provide with this package will update Class(y)
- v2.0b to support ExoSpace, by creating a special version of the library
- CLASSY.LIB. The new library will be called CLASSYX.LIB. CLASSYX.LIB
- should be used in place of CLASSY.LIB when linking programs with
- ExoSpace. CLASSYX.LIB should not be used except with ExoSpace.
-
- If you do not currently plan to use ExoSpace, it is not necessary to
- apply this patch. Future releases of Class(y) will include support for
- ExoSpace.
-
- Applying the patch
- ------------------
-
- Change to the directory which contains Class(y) v2.0b and ensure that
- the patch files are contained in that directory, along with the patch
- program PATCH.EXE, as described in the File List section earlier.
- Execute the following command to apply the patch:
-
- CSYEXO
-
- Once the file has been patched, ensure that CLASSYX.LIB is available in
- the library search path. Use CLASSYX.LIB when linking programs with
- ExoSpace.
-
-
- Clip4Win Note
- -------------
-
- CLASSYX.LIB is also compatibile with Clip4Win, and should be used
- instead of CLASSYW.LIB, which was the previous library for Clip4Win.
