 Creating CA-Clipper DOS extended programs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 When linking DOS extended or dual mode CA-Clipper programs it is always
 necessary to include an additional Blinker library for the appropriate
 compiler version. This library contains replacement .OBJ files for any
 compiler library .OBJ files which are not protected mode compatible.

 The Blinker libraries all have names of the form BLXcccnn, where ccc
 indicates the vendor and compiler, in this case CLP for CA-Clipper, and nn
 indicates the compiler version number. The appropriate Blinker protected
 mode compiler library must always be SEARCHed before the standard compiler
 library or the script file containing the compiler library. If the compiler
 library is not explicitly mentioned then place the SEARCH of the Blinker
 library as the last library in the link file.
 For example, with CA-Clipper 5.3:

 . . .
 SEARCH BLXCLP53   # Blinker library
 LIB CLIPPER       # CA-Clipper library
 . . .

 When using third party libraries please ensure that they are protected mode
 or dual mode compatible before attempting to use them in a DOS extended
 program. Blinkinc cannot guarantee that any particular library is either
 overlayable or protected mode compatible or both, so please contact the
 vendor of each library concerned for details on their protected mode
 compatibility.

 For complete examples of DOS extended and Dual mode CA-Clipper programs,
 please refer to the CA-Clipper 5.x section of the Quick Start section in the
 online help, and to the CLP subdirectory of the Blinker installation
 directory.
