        The Programmer's Guide to CLIPPER Linkers - part (10)
 
         Case Study #4: dCLIPFLP.EXE -Flipper engine
 
                          (WARPLINK and dCLIP 2.5)
 
         dCLIPFLP is a development platform and runtime system for
         Clipper applications which use the FLIPPER graphics library.
         WARPLINK was the best choice for this application for reasons
         of speed performance more than memory performance.  RTLINK
         actually performed better from a memory-management point of
         view, however, the constant "reloading" of overlay segments
         proved to be too "disk-intensive" and very slow.  WARPLINK's
         link "pool" management scheme produces better speed performance
         because it keeps routines which are called most often in memory.
 
         WARPLINK is an example of a "dynamic-overlay" linker which
         has limitations on the modules which can be overlayed. It is
         very unclear how to determine which modules CAN be overlayed
         other than by constant trial and error.  The link file below
         was developed after much of this trial and error.  Objects and
         libraries which are to be overlayed are placed in ()
         parenthesis.  Gary Prothero, the developer of Flipper is
         currently working on breaking his libraries out into sub-
         libraries which will allow all the (OVERLAYABLE) code to be
         overlayed as a .LIBrary rather than many .OBJects.  This, of
         course, makes project management simpler.

         Case Study #5: DONNAY Accounting System
 
                          (dCLIPRUN - dynamic linker)
 
         Our DONNAY Software Accounting system is written entirely in
         Clipper and handles Sales Orders, Customers, Accounts Receivable,
         Accounts Payable, Inventory Control, General Ledger and reports.
         Is also uses the entire SOFT.CLIP library, and has a gateway
         system to call other programs such as FYI - Work Smarter.
 
         This program was originally written in dBASE-II and has evolved
         into a large, custom program which is about 1.5Meg of executable
         code.  Until 1 year ago, this system consisted of several
         .EXEcutable sub-programs.  Our accounting department was always
         frustrated because we were reluctant to provide needed changes
         due to the complexity of the system.  Each one was linked with
         PLINK86 and had a sophisticated internal overlay structure.
         Finally we decided to solve this problem by converting the
         program into several "dynamic-libraries" and then running it
         entirely under the dCLIPRUN "dynamic-link" system.  The conversion
         took about 2 hours because all that was needed was to take all
         the Clipper objects and "pre-link" them into sets of .DLB
         (dynamic-library) files.  Now, providing simple changes is easy
         because we simply edit and compile the desired .PRG and distribute
         the new .OBJect file.  dCLIPRUN's incremental link system insures
         that the new object is executed rather than the old one in the
         dynamic library.  About every two weeks we update the dynamic
         libraries and distribute them.
 
 
 
         Case Study #6:  FYI - Work Smarter  (RTLINK/CLIPPER-5.0)
 
         FYI - Work Smarter is included as a case study for both
         ALINK/BLINKER for Clipper Summer 87 (Case Study #1) and also
         for RTLINK and Clipper-5.0.  This application was originally
         developed in Summer 87 but recently converted to Clipper-5.0
         to take advantage of the new Virtual Memory Management System.
 
         It took only a few days to convert our 100 program modules
         to be compatible with Clipper-5.0, and most of the problems
         we encountered were due to using unconventional and "undocumented"
         features of Summer 87 such as parameter initialization and
         calls to Clipper internals.
 
         The new Clipper-5.0 executable program performs as well as the
         Summer 87 version linked with BLINKER in the area of speed but
         well outperforms the BLINKER/SUMMER 87 version in the area of
         memory performance.

          Netware Lite - First try of Novell in world of Peer-to-Peer
 
 Don't wondering why Clipper magazine is taking a look onto typicall network
 stuff. It has few reasons:
 
     -   many from us are using any kind of networks or are just looking
         into network world where to make a step to use it
     -   i'm not only Clipper freak, but i'm also author of few network
         books and highly interested in network...
 
 Therefore next article will try to make a comparation of Netware Lite and
 Lantastic (because both are very close together). Have to say, it's after ONE
 day of playing with this network... Today (Friday) finally arrived a package
 from Europen Novell distributor with Lite floppies and manuals.
 
 Netware Lite is coming in present version 1.0 on two 5.25 floppies or one 3.5
 floppy. Easy installation as usual with using C menuing and windowing
 libraries is leaving computer prepared for use as server or workstation (so
 called CLIENT in this version of Novell networking).
 
 In my case there are three computers for testing, one 386/33Mhz with 104MB
 harddisk, DOS5.0 and 4DOS 4.0, one TANDON 286/12Mhz with 2 times 30MB
 DataPak, DOS 3.3 and 4DOS 4.0 and finally VICTOR386SX/16Mhz with 20MB
 harddisk, DOS 3.3 and 4DOS 4.0. Connected together with Ethernet, 386/33 is
 using Artisoft AE2 card, TANDON is using NE2000 and VICTOR is using Artisoft
 NE3 card. All three are normally running with using of Artisoft Lantastic
 version 4.0 and ALL are acting as full servers, TANDON is used as PRINTER
 SERVER for PostScript printer and contains all public data, 386/33Mhz is used
 by my for developing all Clipper,C,ASM programs and serving in other time as
 BBS computer. Both 386 machines are using QEMM 6.0 with ST:M and are loading
 high everything what is possible to load <grin>.
 
 Netware Lite was able to run immediately after installation. Only one nice
 surprise was coming, SERVER.EXE is impossible to load high, it must be in
 standard memory (50KB...). Lantastic SERVER instead can be loaded HIGH
 without any problems and any speed differences.
 
 Second surprise was, that complete CLIENT+SERVER combination is taking about
 63KBs of memory, Lantastic configuration instead can be 10KB smaller, but it
 depends from used card and parameters of server, redir and lanbios. But still
 SERVER.EXE from Lantastic can be loaded high and therefore saving about 50Kbs
 of memory for use in DOS.
 
 Comparation of speed is coming to be better for Novell Netware Lite. When
 Lantastic has speed about 60KB/sec on this ETHERNET, then Lite is coming to
 90KB/sec. When lantastic is about 40KB/sec (access to 286 server), then
 Netware Lite is about 65KB/sec. And all this on exactly the same hardware,
 the same settings of hardware and software.
 
 Main difference with Lantastic is coming in way of handling network users.
 Lantastic us using logging of USER per SERVER, Netware Lite us using way of
 USER per NETWORK, therefore Lite is keeping user names and accounts across
 whole network in ALL servers and automatically upgrading all servers. This
 feature is very pitty. Command NET LOGIN DANIEL will try to login into ALL
 available servers and can make only ingenious mess with asking for password
 and with missing servers...
 CLIPBBS 1-13                   Page 6                   19 Nov 1991


 Generally is Lite working very good and very fast, it's allowing better
 defining of printers and their initialization than Lantastic, security system
 is much smaller than one implemented in Lantastic (of you are one who needs a
 good secured peer-to-peer, then take a look to Lantastic), but it's not real
 problem because planned use is just for sharing devices and there is always
 possibility to DISABLE access somewhere.
 
 Lantastic is generally step further in additional facilities like mail
 sending, indirect files, security management, MicroSoft networks alike
 compatibility. That's possible to expect, because Lantastic is now version
 4.0 and Novell Lite is 1.0. Lantastic about numbers 2.something was low under
 Lite....
 
 Lite is of course based on Novell's IPX technique with using of likable ODI
 drivers and can be running together with Novell Netware 2.x or 3.x systems
 without any problems and can use already installed IPX.COM file for Lite
 big brother Netware. This cannot be told about Lantastic, because Lantastic
 is using OWN netbios drivers and when running on the same cabling as big
 Netware is resulting in too much wrong packets and unknown adresses.
 
 Testing shows than no problems with AE2 (which is NE2000 compatible) or NE3
 (which is WD8003 compatible) cards from Lantastic, which is very good for
 someone who wants to make switch Lantastic->Lite or possible other directions
 also. There is no any need of 'special' ADAPTER INDEPENDENT version as in
 case of Lantastic which is expensive and not working on every card
 (compatibility must be inside of some Artisoft given ranges). Just take a
 card, take a IPX.COM or get a ODI driver and start use of it. That's big
 advantage, because SERVER.EXE or CUSTOMER.EXE are staying exactly the same
 (Lantastic is changing them in every version).
 
 One negative fact shown out will be subject of another trying. When one from
 three servers is going down, sometime other servers are trying to access this
 server and it's ending with Abort/Retry/Ignore/Fail messages of MS DOS. But
 it can be problem of some mapping or using PATH located to another server.
 
 Dangerous possibility to run CHKDSK, COMPRESS, SPEEDISK or any other low
 level utility on server when SERVER.EXE is running is mentioned only in
 README file which i found confusing. Lantastic is in this case causing low
 level disk program to tell about Network or just report some errors of
 accesing which will prevent from disaster. In other case, it's nice to be
 able run DISKEDIT when SERVER is running...
 
 Our PostScript printer went crazy when WordPerfect was trying to print one
 page out, but it was only because standard setting of CAPTURE is including
 sending of BANNER PAGE and FORM FEED after job. Maybe later will Novell found
 that it's not good to include disastreous options as default....
 
 That's all from first impression which is at this moment good. Later
 continuing will come with some numbers for comparing Novell Lite and
 Lantastic because mentioned combination of three computer is just possible to
 start with both of them still.

          Clipper is OOP, comments about OCLIP library
                       by Antonio Linares
 
                              alias
 
      Tricks & Undocumented functions for Clipper 5.01 OOPS
 
 Thanks to Peter Freese (OCLIP.ARJ) now we now much more about the
 undocumented functions at the SEND module in CLIPPER.LIB.
 
 I love OCLIP.ARJ. I bought Class(y) but I decided not to use it because
 there is no way to let other people use my Classes. Thanks Peter. (By the
 way, I think all of us are diying to know how you got the sintaxis of the
 undocumented functions. All of us will like very much you to tell us. Once
 again, thanks Peter).
 
 I am using OCLIP as much as I can. Now I feel much more entusiasthic about
 Clipper 5.01 (I will never forgive to get only 4 classes... Nantucket: Why
 do you play with us? Don't you understand we will take Borland dBase as
 soon as it is ready... What you are doing with us has no words. We are
 proffesionals pogrammers, no monkeys!). I think the only question you have
 in mind is to get the money from our pockets... Very soon you will die
 completely!
 
 Meanwhile... I have been hacking around.
 
 1.-     Clipper lets you Eval() a Block like an object. It is possible to
         write
 
          local bBlock := { || tone( 1000, 1 ) }
 
          eval( bBlock )   // or
          bBlock:Eval()
 
 2.-     If you look into OCLIP.PRG, you will see that __ClassNew() returns
         a handle.  Peter stores that handle in a static variable. You can
         try this to check that the handle is just a normal number:
 
             ? __ClassNew( "TEST", 10 )     // Number means data elements
 
 3.-     Ok. Now (tachan!) if you call __ClassSel() with that handle as a
         parameter, you get an ARRAY with the NAMES of ALL THE DATA and
         METHODS!!!
 
               local Get := GetNew()
               local a := __ClassSel( 1 )
 
               achoice( 0, 0, maxrow(), maxcol(), a )
 
 4.-     There is always a method for all the Classes that Clipper has and
         for all the new Classes we make with OCLIP. It is the ClassName()
         method.
 
                local Get := GetNew()
 
                ? Get:ClassName()           // will print "GET"

         In fact it can be used as an extension of ValType(). If you want to
         know if a variable is a "char", you use ValType( cVariable ). In
         the same way if you want to know if an Object is a "get", you use
         Object:ClassName().
 
 5.-     I found a hard problem when using OCLIP to derive the :New() method
         for a Class. Supouse you have the following Classes
 
          VISUAL CLASS ---> MENU CLASS ---> BARMENU CLASS
 
         When you have just finished writting the Visual Class you remember
         about all it's data elements. So it is very easy when you write the
         :New() method (constructor) for a just-written class.
 
         If in a couple of months you decide to derive the Class MENU, the
         best thing you can do is to write a :New() method wich just call to
         it's base class Visual to initialize data and then you initiaize
         the new data you have added.
 
                     CLASS Menu FROM Visual
                        VAR ...                 // New data elements
                        METHOD New = MnuNew
                     ENDCLASS
 
         Now you do:
 
         function MnuNew()
 
            ::Super:New()
 
            ... initialize new data...
 
         return Self
 
         All this work fine. But... now you derive another class
         called BarMenu.
 
                     CLASS BarMenu FROM Menu
                        VAR ...                // New data elements
                        METHOD New = BmnNew
                     ENDCLASS
 
         And you think... "ok, let's do the same again"
 
         function BmnNew()
 
         ::Super:New()   // THIS CALLS AGAIN BmnNew(), as a never ending loop
                         // wich makes Clipper HANG !!! :-(
 
         ... Buahhh, (I thought). The final for OCLIP... :-(
 
         But... :-), here comes the WorkAround !!! Great! :
 
         function BmnNew()
 
         local Menu := Menu()
 CLIPBBS 1-13                   Page 9                   19 Nov 1991


         acopy( qself(),Menu)      // I took the idea hacking around OCLIP.PRG
         Menu:New()
         acopy( Menu, qself() )
 
         ...                         // Initialize your new data
 
         THIS WORKS PERFECT!!!
 
         You can do the same with the Menu Class
 
         function MnuNew()
 
         local Visual := Visual()
 
         acopy( qself(), Visual )
         Visual:New()
         acopy( Visual, qself() )
 
         ...
 
 Well. Hope all this will help you. Soon more articles, more
 ideas. Hope you had fun!

                      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 <grin>.

             LOCAL             Inline assignment clarification.
 
   Further, LOCAL x := 1, y := x + 2, z := y + 4  will cause a run-time
   error: BASE/1081 Argument Error: +.
 
 -----------COMMENT-----------
 
     From view of languages theory it is impossible use of assigning,
     because is NEVER known WHICH variable will be declared and assigned
     first. It can be "X" or it can be "Z". This is not regular expression
     and here is not defined rule of evaluation, Therefore using of
     constructions like this is not good idea.

  10) A memory overbooked error may be caused by too many #define statements.
 
 -----COMMENTS------
 
      Error with "Memory overbooked" related to #define is quite normal. In
      case of this problem is needed MORE memory for CLIPPER.EXE running.
      Buffers for #define (or translate/command...) are allocated in
      conventional memory and therefore if is small amount of free for
      Clipper.EXE will come error.

            PICTURE           Comments on 5.01's PICTURE clause.
 
   1) The PICTURE clause will not increase a variable's length.
      Example:
 
         cVar := ""
         @ row, col get cVar PICTURE "!!!!!"   // Does not work.
 
 -------COMMENTS---------
 
      Comments about ad 1) - how can PICTURE clause change size of variabole
      btw.  Anyway all other Fox, dBASE version are not doing this, picture
      is just template to input (output) and has nothing to do with action
      about size of TYPE of variable.

 library which i'm now going to test with MVDEMO.PRG.
 
 OK, it's five minutes later. My portable PC has absolutely stupid speaker

                          =========================
 
 CLIPBBS 1-13                   Page 17                  19 Nov 1991


         Any Node is free to join Clipper, but there is a maximum
 |       of 2 CLN nodes in each local telephonezone (Area code in
 |       Zone 1.)  In according with the RC (ZC) this maximum can
         be exceeded, after rectification with CLN-HQ. The amount
         should be in agree with the number of BBS's and users in
 |       that telephonezone (Area code).
 
         The CLN Nodes must allow FREQ's to all nodes even points
         and unlisted ones. A free download of 30 minutes and
 |       400 kb at 2400 Baud should be respected too.
 
         There may no money asked for one of the CLN files, neither
         for download nor for feeding downlinks without permission
         of CLN-HQ.
 
 |       No node must carry all CLN areas but a feeding node should
 |       carry all areas to offer them for his downlinks.
 
 
                           Who may hatch files ?
                           ======================
 
 |       Only RCs and NCs may hatch files into CLN. (Zone 1: Files
 |       should be sent to 1:107/230 for hatching. This will change
 |       as CLN becomes more widespread). Before hatching any CLN
         file MUST first be checked on viruses with the latest
         available scanner. [McAfee]
 
 
                     What's the meaning with ClipperNet ?
                     ====================================
 
         The idea behind ClipperNet is to spread information and new
 |       files about Clipper, dBase, Foxbase, FCO (Force), SQL.
 
 
                                 Echo Areas ?
                                 ============

                                 Packing ?
                                 =========
 
         All Files should be packed with Arj. We use Arj as a
         standard in ClipperNet. For reaching a high transfer-rate
 |       all TIC's should be packed with TickEcho. (Zone 1: Not
 |       required, but not unreasonable).
 
 
                                 Nodelist ?
                                 ==========
 
         Updates to the nodelist should be sent to 2:240/100 as
 |       soon as possible to optimize the file-routing. (Zone 1:
 |       Updates can be sent to 1:107/230 for routing).

                      How to write articles in CLIPBBS?
   
   
   Submission of articles to CLIPBBS is really easy:
     Maximum of 78 characters per line, as long or as short as you like
     ASCII text.
     Choose from the list of extension which most describes your text, or
     just name it .ART as ARTicle and send it to publisher or to any
     distribution site via modem to BBS or with mailer as file attach.
     Article will come automatically appear in the next free issue.
   
   Extensions are:
   
           Articles (anything)             .ART
           Software                        .SOF
           News                            .NEW
           Question and Answers            .Q&A
           ANOMALIES and their comments    .ANO
           Letters to editors              .LET
           Advertisement                   .ADV
           Wanted                          .WAN
           Comments                        .CMS
           DUMP from conferences           .DMP
           Clipper Net                     .CLN
           
   That's all at the moment, there will probably be changes later, as the
   magazine evolves. If you have any ideas for a new section of CLIPBBS,
   please tell us, or just write an article about it.
