- Installation Instructions
- -------------------------
-
- The Developer's Library is supplied on a single, double density,
- (360K) disk, in 3 compressed files named LIBRARY.EXE,
- SAMPLES.EXE, and SOURCE.EXE. The files were created using
- PKWARE's PKZIP Version 1.10. They are self-extracting, and
- contain the library, its sample programs and databases, and its
- source code, respectively. Follow the instructions below to
- extract the files in them.
-
-
-
- To extract the library file DEVELOP.LIB:
- ----------------------------------------
-
- 1. Change to the directory where you normally keep your
- Clipper libraries (usually \CLIPPER5\LIB).
-
- 2. Insert the Developer's Library disk into Drive A and
- type:
-
- A:LIBRARY
-
-
- To extract the sample databases and program files:
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Change to your working directory.
-
- 2. Insert the Developer's Library disk into Drive A and
- type:
-
-
- A:SAMPLES
-
-
-
- To extract all other Developer's Library files:
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Create a directory on your hard disk for the library
- source code (suggested name is \DEVELOP) and change to it
- using:
-
- MD \DEVELOP
- CD \DEVELOP
-
-
-
-
-
- DEVELOPER'S LIBRARY --- VERSION 5.0 --- READ.ME --- page 4 of 4
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2. Insert the Developer's Library disk in Drive A, and
- enter:
-
- A:SOURCE
-
- This will uncompress all files in the Developer's Library
- and copy them into the \DEVELOP directory. Since the
- library contains over 200 files, it will take a few
- minutes for all the files to be transferred.
-
-
-
- Regenerating The Library
- ------------------------
-
- If you want to make changes or add your own functions to the
- library, follow the instructions in appendix B. Note that
- MAKELIB.BAT looks for DEVELOP.LIB in the \CLIPPER5\LIB directory.
- If you use a different directory, you must modify it.
-
-
- All OBJ files are provided with the library. The Clipper
- functions are compiled with Version 5.0, release 1.03 of Clipper.
- The assembly language functions are compiled with MASM Version
- 5.1.
-
-
- Since the object files are supplied, only functions you add or
- change are recompiled if you regenerate the library. See appendix
- B for more information.
-
-
- If you plan to use CHKSTATE, CHKZIP, or STATENAME, copy the
- ZIPS.DBF file from to your working directory.
