#3 / 9 Windows 95/Clipper 5.3 I am running the release of Win95 and it DOES have some incompatability problems when

using the LLIBG library in graphics mode, I have been playing with the MSDOS memory

and display settings, but If I run a program that requires graphics mode, the program

dies with a GPF and then Win95 either freezes or locks up tight!

We can not use 5.3 yet because the LLIBG library is NOT compatible with CTUS.OBJ,

CTUSP.OBJ (clipper tools) and CA told me there will be a fix in a month or so. I

have not used it enough to say that there might be a possible problem other than DOS

settings.

I can't speak about 5.3, but I use 5.2 consistently without any problems.

I also use Flipper, Blinker and Artful Libraries. That includes graphic

modes with Flipper. I've experienced no problems with Win95 in this or any

other regard, with the exception of some anoying problems with Wincom Pro

on a laptop, when the battery is getting low.

Good luck.

I find that my Clipper 5.3 programs freezes my Network when running from

Windows 3.1. Without windows they work fine.

Can Clipper 5.3 be used with Win 95 at all then? Will it compile OK in a DOS window

or if the computer boots up (dual boot option) in DOS without Win95? I just

received my 5.3 and I haven't upgraded to Win95 yet. I haven't heard anything out

of Computer Associates about Win 95.

No problem at my end. Its just perfect from both the Dos Shell, as well

as when I boot from normal DOS (patched WIN'95, which lets me load

Win'95 from DOS_Command_Prompt and with Shut Down gives back the

Dos_Command_Prompt).

I am using Win95 with one of my progs written with Clipper 5.3 using the

supplied version of LLIBG Lib.

It works fine using full screen but not as a window (Modify its properties

to always use Full screen).

Another prog using text mode only works well as a full screen or windowed.

I must say that after the initial hair-pulling/screaming tantrum

familiarisation period, both Win95 and Clipper 5.3 seem very good.

(Both work ok on my Pentium 90 and 386DX40 (8Megs in both). For some

reason there seems to be less steam coming from the Pentium ! :-)

I can not fully explain the reason. But Clipper was not designed to be run in a multitasking environment and windows goes through great trouble to emulate a DOS-environment. So now as soon as your old program runs, even the fastest core duo system slows down to a creep. If you run it on a laptop, your batteries are empty quicker than you can say uncle.

I have source code for a DOS Clipper 87 program using Flipper graphics. I need it upgraded to Windows 10. I think C# in Microsoft Visual Studio would be best, but open to other platforms. I will want the new windows code so that I can compile it locally. No external libraries please.
