- What's New in ClipHelp (C) vs. 1.1
- __________________________________
-
-
- My thanks to all those who have registered their usage of ClipHelp or
- who have written or phoned from many countries - sometimes at hours
- which left me wondering about the prudence of including my telephone
- number - in response to which I am pleased to release this new and
- improved Shareware version.
-
- New features in ClipHelp vs 1.1 affect Clipper 5 users only - there are
- no changes in this release affecting Clipper Summer '87 users.
-
- Changes:
-
- * Clipper 5 .OBJ module now contains no PUBLIC or PRIVATE
- variables.
-
- * Module now contains only LOCAL or file-wide STATIC variables.
-
- * Now needs only one line to be added to application source code
- to access all ClipHelp facilities.
-
- * Context-sensitivity now achieved by calling a function to pass
- string/code to ClipHelp - avoids PUBLIC variable declaration.
-
- * Almost 20% reduction in .OBJ file size.
-
- * Improved speed through smaller size and revised variable
- scoping.
-
- Details of changes and how they affect installation and use are to be
- found in the manual - CLIPHELP.DOC - at the following places:-
-
- 9. Adding context-sensitivity to your HELP.TXT file
- 12. Clipper 5 version - Declarations in your application
-
- There is also a replacement HLPC501.LIB which I believe is a little
- faster than the one included with version 1.00, though it is not
- essential that this replacement be used.
