 LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

 All of the ClipOn functions are compatible with and can run on a
 local area network.

 Most of the ClipOn functions that manipulate databases or other
 files do so using the access (exclusive, shared, etc.) that the
 file was originally opened with.  The following functions, however,
 are an exception to this:

 C_BACKUP()
 C_CAPTSCRN()
 C_FILEAPPEND()
 C_FILECNTZ()
 C_FILECOPY()
 C_FILEDATE()
 C_FILEGRAB()
 C_FILESIZE()
 C_FILETIME()
 C_FILEWIPE()
 C_ISDBF()
 C_ISDBT()
 C_READARR()
 C_RESTORE()
 C_SECURE()
 C_SETDBT()
 C_VIEW()
 C_WREAD()
 C_WWRITE()

 The above functions must know whether or not the program is running
 on a network.  This is accomplished by a logical parameter that is
 passed to the functions to indicate the network or a single user
 status.  Specifying true (.T.) indicates that the program is
 running on a network.  Specifying false (.F.) indicates that the
 program is not running on a network.  If the network parameter is
 not specified to a function that needs it, the default of false
 (.F.), not running on a network is used.

 Other exceptions are the C_BROWSE() and C_XBROWSE() functions which
 directly add, update, and delete records from a database.  Both
 functions are designed to maintain a dialog with a specified user-
 defined function (UDF) which controls the actions and tasks they
 perform.  All network controls such as record locking must be
 performed by the specified user-defined function.  C_BROWSE() and
 C_XBROWSE() call the UDF before and after a record is added,
 updated, or deleted to allow a record or file lock to be placed on
 the record or database.  A Clipper network locking function or a
 custom written function must be included in the UDF to lock and
 unlock the record or file when appropriate.  Comments are contained
 in the standard UDF's that are included with ClipOn as to where a
 lock and unlock function should be placed.
