 0.2 Required tools
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Hardware requirements:

   * FiveWin works from 386 computers and up.
     We do not support 286 computers.

   * FiveWin may work in computers with 2 megs of RAM, though a minimum
     of 4 megs is highly recommended.

   * FiveWin works in computers with DBLSPACE double spaced hard disks.

   * FiveWin has been successfully tested with:

        - Windows 3.1
        - Windows 3.11 for WorkGroups
        - Windows 95
        - Windows NT

   * FiveWin has been successfully tested in Windows for WorkGroups
     NetWork, Windows 95 NetWork, Windows NT NetWork and Novell Network.

   Software requirements:

   * CA-Clipper 5.01, CA-Clipper 5.2 or CA-Clipper 5.3.

   * A Windows linker is required:

     We highly recommend Blinker 3.0 and above versions. Blinker 3.XX
     is the Linker we normally use with our MsDos, Windows and IBM/OS2
     Five versions.

     Microsoft LINK.EXE 5.10 version and above work fine with
     FiveWin:

        - IBM/OS2 versions 2.1 and above supplies a version of
          Microsoft LINK that works fine with FiveWin.

        - If you use LINK version 5.1 (the one provided with
          IBM/OS2) you need to use the SOURCE\TOOLS\ExeType.exe
          utility we provide to change the internal EXE version
          generated by the LINKer:

          ExeType.exe MyApp.exe 3.1   // Call this after generating the EXE

        - You may download the latest Microsoft link LINK.EXE directly
          from InterNet: ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/lnkXXX.exe

     We do not support Borland's TLINK.EXE.

     Symantec C++ 7.0 OptLink is compatible with FiveWin. C++ 6.0
     version it is not compatible.

   * A Windows Resource Editor is HIGHLY recommended. We normally
     use Borland's Resource WorkShop. We have also successfully tested
     Microsoft AppStudio resource editor. These tools come with
     Borland's C/C++ compiler or Microsoft Visual C++ compiler.
     See the following:

   * It is highly recommended that you acquire Borland's Turbo C++ for
     Windows or Borland's C++ 3.1 or Borland's C++ 4.0 or above.

     We normally use Borland C++ 3.1. And all the C code included in
     FiveWin has been developed using Borland C/C++ compiler.

     Also, Microsoft Visual C++ is a highly recommended tool to acquire.
     Also we have tested with Symantec C++.

     These products include excellent Windows Resources editors, that
     you need to do Visual programming.

     These products offer a lot of very useful documentation, tools
     and of course, the C/C++ compiler, that you may use to enhance
     FiveWin developing new API C and DLLs C functions.

     We do recommend you to acquire one of these compilers. They will
     offer you many, many benefits.
