It gives access to your program to the extended memory (in complement
of conventional memory). So it's a good step anyhow, but it still is a
16 bits executable. You can use the same version of nanfor lib (in
fact you have only 2 version of nanfor for clipper : linked for
clipper 5,2e and linked for clipper 5.3b)
If you want to get a true 32 bits exe, you must compile-link with
xharbour or harbour. It is 99% clipper compatible, so it should need
very few adjustements. It will gives you a true (console) windows (or
linux, or DOS, at your choice) application, and you will have access
to the windows API and to many, many languages extentions. More, with
some work, you will be able to modificate the interface so you can use
a graphical library and have a true GUI application.
The nanfor library is included in it, so all you have to do is tell
the linker you need it.
