 Obsolete Language Items
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 In the Reference guide, the asterisk symbol is used to indicate
 items in the language that are obsolete or that exist for compatibility
 with previous releases of CA-Clipper.  As you begin to incorporate
 new product features into your existing applications, it would be
 advisable to review your code to determine any obsolete items that you
 might be using.  This table lists each obsolete language item with its
 recommended replacement and should be helpful to you in updating your
 programs.

 Warning:  In the future, this table will be the only documentation
 for obsolete items because they will be removed from the Reference guide.
 Furthermore, obsolete items are not in keeping with the current
 CA-Clipper programming philosophy, and we strongly discourage their use
 as they may not be supported in future releases of CA-Clipper.
