X-Hacker.org- TSDWIN: Clipper 5.0 Interface Library - <b>apology to already registered users:</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
 Apology to Already Registered Users:
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 In Version 1.50, the name of EVERY function has been changed. When
 the library first began, it seemed like wOpen() was a safe name.
 After all, people would probably not use two interface libraries.
 Little did we realize that Nantucket Corp. itself would be the
 unravelling of that assumption. With the release of Clipper Tools
 II, it became necessary to change the names to avoid conflicts
 with their windowing functions, which are kept in a STATIC module
 and therefore take precedence to other functions from other
 libraries of the same name, especially when the user, as a few
 TSDWIN users do, use PLLs in their everyday work.

 Anyway, the opportunity was there to provide a more coherent
 naming scheme. While not many functions have different parameter
 lists, there are some that do. In later releases, some of the
 older browse functions in TSDWIN will not be included. Users are
 encouraged to use the new ones in this version.

 The picklist functions have been changed considerably. Window
 moving is no longer a default. The picklist functions make calls
 to other TSDWIN browse functions to operate. One of the new
 browses, twQDBrowse() is a tiny browse which can be adapted for
 picklists. Future releases of TSDWIN will have more of these small
 browses.

 The new naming scheme is summarized below:

    Clipper code functions are prefaced with tw, ie., wOpen()
    becomes twOpen().

    'C' functions are prefaced with tw_, ie., wScr_Xtr() becomes
    twScr_Xtr().

    ASM functions are prefaced with _tw, ie., _wClock() becomes
    _twClock().

 Terry Payne of Canyon, TX has been kind enough to supply a Clipper
 program which will search your source code and make the necessary
 changes.
