The Programmer's Guide to CLIPPER Linkers - part (8)


NOLINK

Current Version - 2.1

List Price - $89.00

NOLINK is a true "dynamic-linker" which does NOT produce an
executable file but instead is an "executable-kernel" which
contains the CLIPPER.LIB/EXTEND.LIB libraries and runs Clipper
applications from .OBJ files and/or dynamic libraries.

Like ALINK, NOLINK's dynamic link system is compatible with
Clipper-compiled code only and was designed to help develop
and test Clipper modules by eliminating the normal link cycle
that is required when producing .EXEcutable programs. NOLINK
only links objects into memory when they are "called" by the
application that is running. NOLINK's dynamic-link system is
by far the fastest linking technique of all link systems
because the symbol "fixups" occur at runtime and only when they
are needed by the application.

NOLINK's .EXE program is built from the Clipper libraries and
the NOLINK "Kernel Builder" library and is somewhat of a memory
hog. NOLINK is an excellent product for testing small portions
of Clipper programs or Clipper UDF's, but it can easily run out
of memory on large Clipper projects. NOLINK's standard .EXE
program is limited to virgin Clipper applications and is not
compatible with third-party libraries. It is recommended that
you use NOLINK's Kernel Builder to create a custom kernel for
your more sophisticated applications.



NOLINK - Kernel Builder (library)

Current Version - 2.1

List Price - $89.00


The NOLINK Kernel Builder is a LIBRARY which allows the
programmer to build a custom "dynamic-link" kernel which also
includes compatibility with third-party libraries. Kernel
Builder's Library is used with another "overlay-linker" to
create the kernel. By using overlay segments, I have been
successful in creating complete NOLINK kernels in as small
as 190k with RTLINK and 220k with PLINK86.

dCLIP/dCLIPRUN

Current Version - 2.5 Summer 87
2.50 Clipper 5.0

List Price - $295.00


dCLIP is a complete development platform and library for Clipper
applications and uses "dynamic-linking" to run clipper .OBJ
files or dynamic libraries. dCLIPRUN has a 40k lower memory
overhead than dCLIP because the DOT prompt and debugging tools
have been removed. Both the dCLIP.EXE and dCLIPRUN.EXE
"engines" are included in the dCLIP package and a set of
.LIBraries are also included to allow the programmer to create
custom engines or use dCLIP features in his/her applications.
dCLIP also includes a royalty-free dCLIPRUN distribution license
to allow the developer to distribute the dCLIPRUN.EXE runtime
engine or "custom" runtime engines for running Clipper
applications from .OBJects and/or .DLBs.

dCLIP's technology uses functions from the NOLINK library to
perform it's "dynamic-linking", but other than that, there is
absolutely no resemblance to NOLINK. dCLIP is much more
sophisiticated than NOLINK in its dBASE/FoxBASE-style user-
interface, memory management and debugging tools. dCLIP also
performs much better in network environments and includes complete
documentation for integrating with all other third-party products.

dCLIP is the only linking product that is a "runtime" system
rather than producing an .EXEcutable program. dCLIP's .EXE
can be customized by re-creating it from the dCLIP libraries,
therefore dCLIP provides the advantage of using any other
linking technology in conjunction with their "dynamic-linking"
system. This means that a dCLIP.EXE engine built with RTLINK
will support all the features of RTLINK .AND. all the features
of dCLIP.

For many Clipper applications, distribution of an .EXEcutable
program is the most efficient and beneficial. dCLIP's runtime
system was designed to solve the distribution problems which can't
be managed very well in .EXE programs:

1. Alpha/Beta testing projects under development

Because dCLIPRUN executes the .OBJect files or dynamic
libraries, daily updates to offsite testers can be distributed
CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 3 5 Nov 1991


much more quickly and efficiently. Sending a few .OBJects
is quicker and easier than sending large .EXEcutables each
time changes are made.

2. Configuration control and customization.

dCLIPRUN offers a more efficient method of distributing
applications which require constant configuration or custom
changes. Custom configuration of a screen or report would
normally require rebuilding the .EXEcutable program. With
dCLIPRUN's "incremental linking" capability, a custom change
can be accomplished at the customer's site, compiled into
an object and ready to run.


3. Memory management for large applications.

Some applications cannot be linked into an .EXEcutable program
with any "overlay" linker because of the large number of
symbols which must always go into the "root" memory. For
example, Champion accounting distributes their system in 10
.EXEcutable programs. dCLIPRUN will run Champion's entire
accounting package as though it were one integrated system
by running the .OBJect files or dynamic-libraries. This also
provides the advantage of reducing the distribution from 10
diskettes to 4.


dCLIP also provides a set of libraries which can be used with any
other Clipper linker. All the functionality of the standard
dCLIP program is available in a set of functions which may be
linked into your Clipper applications including:

1. The "dynamic-link" system
2. The dot-prompt
3. The menu-driven database manager
4. The printer manager and database
5. The report manager and editor
6. The interactive debugger
7. The source-level debugger
8. The trace debugger (profiler)
9. A complete toolbox of useful menu functions.

QEMM 6.0 Switches

When i got finally QEMM 6.0 version it was a great day in my dark programmers
life. Possibilities of QEMM 6.0 are just great.

Then i decided to need some small chart of possible switches, because QEMM is
using them a quite lot. Maybe this small list will help to some else...

ANOMALIES
==============================================================================


ANOMALIES and their comments

This part of Clipper BBS Magazine is dedicated to all discovered
anomalies and comments about them in Clipper products. Because
Nantucket is still unable to give own bug and anomalies reports (as
actually did in past with Summer 87 version) is very handy to have
results of many investigations done on many user places. I'm also
doing my own investigatings, because i'm always very good when someting
has hidden problems. Everything what i buy will first show all problems
and then all normal things. This amazing part of my live is sometime
making me crazy, but for testing of programs it's great .

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ATAIL() Miscellaneous comment.

Problem Statement

Per the documentation, ATAIL(aArray) 'gets' the value of the last element
in the array. It may NOT be used to 'set' the value and will return
Compiler error 2042, Invalid lvalue, if you attempt to use it in this
fashion.

-----COMMENTS------

Per the documentation is ATAIL() correctly explained as only function
to get value of last element. Exacly it's:
"ATAIL() returns a value or a reference to an array or object.
The array is not changed"

Therefore NOBODY can expect at this point use of ATAIL for setting
a value, because it's just function and not codeblock for EVAL or
someting like this.

In this case i'm missing point, WHY Jo French included this comment
into anomaly report.

Debugger anomalies - PARAMETERS statement


Problem Statement
CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 16 5 Nov 1991


1) The debugger will indicate incorrect variable values following a
PARAMETERS statement.

----COMMENTS----


I was trying to make several tests with PARAMETERS statement (which
i'm normally never using), but every time it was giving correct
answers. If someone who is reading this has some tested example and
can give exact source of program with above mentioned problem, i'm
very interested in it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


DBF FILES Assure proper closing.

General Comment

5.01 is very sensitive about work area management. Assure that files,
including indices, are properly closed before attempting things such
as APPEND FROM.

-----General anti comment -----

I'm NEVER thinking about closing of databases or indexes in any
operations in any time. APPEND FROM is used very often in some
of my programs in form of appending from database, text file,
wordperfect merge files. Never got any problems and never got
reported problems by customers using those programs daily.

If anyone has something to say about this, please tell me!

ClipperNet - ASCPOS.ARJ

File Name: ASCPOS.ARJ
Other Names:

File Size: 1,693 bytes
File Contents:
ASCPOS.C 1558
ASCPOS.OBJ 519

Source and .OBJ file of functional equivalent of:

ASC(substr(cString,nPosition,1))

.C code is for MicroSoft C, with offered way for correct linking. Reason of
existence of this functional equivalent is, that it will be much faster
becasue of very easy way of using.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ClipperNet - CLIPWARN.ARJ

File Name: CLIPWARN.ARJ
Other Names:

File Size: 13,316 bytes
File Contents:
CLIPWARN.DOC 5497
CLIPWARN.EXE 15047
CLIPWARN.C 5866

This .EXE file is offering to solve one problematic moment in Clipper
compiler. Any WARNING produced during compiling are ignored from point of
view NON GENERATING any errorlevel when ending CLIPPER.EXE. For someone who
is using for example /W switch is very difficult to trap out some WARNINGS
about variables (mostly wrong names) in RMAKE files.

CLIPBBS 1-11 Page 22 5 Nov 1991


Offered solution is, that all CLIPPER.EXE calls will be replaced with call
to CLIPWARN.EXE with exactly the same parameters as for CLIPPER.EXE.
CLIPWARN will pass parameters to CLIPPER.EXE and on way back will supply
all WARNINGS (if they were) as ERRORLEVEL number 2.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ClipperNet - ENDADD.ARJ

File Name: ENDADD.ARJ
Other Names:

File Size: 2,508 bytes
File Contents:
ENDADD.C 3410
ENDADD.OBJ 466

Another .C source of some replacement of Clipper sometime used functions
which can slow down. At this time it's equivalent of:

EFT(cString,LEN(cString) - 1) + CHR(ASC(RIGHT(cString,1)) + 1)

It means precisely, INCREASING last character in string into NEXT one
in Character (ASCII) table. Use of this functional construction can
be expected in some browsing or trying to find LAST occurence of some
string. Complete CLIPPER expression for this is of course slow because of
involving a much functions, .C replacement is very fast then.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ClipperNet - IS.ARJ

File Name: IS.ARJ
Other Names:

File Size: 8,045 bytes
File Contents:
CHR_IN.C 327 CHR_IN.OBJ 289
ISACCENT.C 1746 ISACCENT.OBJ 612
ISALPHA.C 1904 ISALPHA.OBJ 743
ISDIGIT.C 1679 ISDIGIT.OBJ 561
ISLOWER.C 2055 ISLOWER.OBJ 748
ISUPPER.C 2037 ISUPPER.OBJ 710

Serie of Clipper .C writen additional functions. Unfortunately it's totally
sometime missing any documentation.

CHR_IN.C is little equivalent of AT function.
ISACCENT.C testing character at given position is foregign character.
ISALPHA.C testing character at hiven position is alpha character,
foreign characters included
ISDIGIT.C testing character at given position is numeric
ISLOWER.C and ISUPPER.C are doing what they are named and are including
foreing characters

ClipperNet - PRINTSUP.ARJ

File Name: PRINTSUP.ARJ
Other Names:

File Size: 5,626 bytes
File Contents:
PRINTSUP.DOC 4224
PRINTSUP.ASM 7936
PRINTSUP.OBJ 855

It's quite interesting fact, that author of nice routines for interfacing
directly with BIOS printing routines, is writing:

"Due to the fact that i could not get CLipper 5.0 to print to printer other
than LPT1:; i wrote the following routines".

Remember, that SET PRINTER TO is working for ANYTHING what is supported on
MS DOS level (includinge \\SERVER\@PRINTER specs from DOS based network).

But anyway, those routines can be sometime handy.
