I had to use blinker 7 instead of blinker 6.
Else than that, I don't remember, but all was solvable and it's
running smoothly under XP (don't know what will happened with vista
though, so the Aardvark's advise to try [x]Harbour is not stupid if
you want to keep your application alive for more than few yaers :-)
I had a pb with set printer to that I resolved the way I said today in
a another post.
You must know that in XP you have two different command line
interpreters : command.com and cmd.exe
You probably want to include
mode 80,25
in your batch file or
setmode(25,80)
in your app or modify the properties of the shorcut that call your app
so you have not a 50 rows window
So : run your app, see the pb, try a group.google search, and if you
cannot find solution, come back here. You can rely on the fact that
clipper apps can run under XP with very few adjust (the most important
being the use of blinker v7 instead of v6)
