10 Tips for Writing High-Performance Web Applications (Tips) 3 JAN 05
Writing a Web application with ASP.NET is unbelievably easy. So easy, many developers don't take the time to structure their applications for great performance. In this article, I'm going to present 10 tips for writing high-performance Web apps. I'm not limiting my comments to ASP.NET applications because they are just one subset of Web applications. This article won't be the definitive guide for performance-tuning Web applications—an entire book could easily be devoted to that. Instead, think of this as a good place to start.

A Better DosFileLookup (Clarion Magazine) 16 MAY 05
When some standard Clarion functionality doesn't meet your need, what do you do? First, you embed some code. Then, when you need that code elsewhere, you start thinking about how to avoid duplicating the embeds. As Dave Harms shows, often the easiest solution is to create a custom, derived ABC class, and tell the templates to use your class instead of the ABC original.

A Class For Printing Addresses (Clarion Magazine) 3 OCT 02
Printing street addresses on reports can be a pain - missing field data can make a good report ugly in a hurry. One way around this is to use a memo for addresses, but then you still have to format sometimes wildly different address data. Here's a small class that makes short work of address formatting.
A Class For The ASCIIng (Clarion Magazine) 8 NOV 02
ASCII files are commonplace in programming, but their use in Clarion is generally more complicated than in other languages because Clarion can only do ASCII file I/O via an ASCII file driver declared file. Declaring such a file can become quite a nuisance, and breaks Konrad Byers' golden rule of never having to program the same thing twice. Enter the any ASCII file class.

A Dozen Techniques to Improve Your Software Online Help (Web Sites) 1 DEC 05
There are several main reasons why putting your software manual on-line is necessary. It makes your web-site attractive for search engine crawlers and therefore brings you targeted traffic from Google, Yahoo!, MSN, and other search engines. A good online manual makes your product serious and credible. Moreover, if a user faces difficulty using your software and asks for technical support, you may easily resolve the issue by referring that user to a certain page of your online help. Simply give the page's URL. With just one click the user will see screenshots and explanations which will help them to settle the case.

Anyone can download the entire podcast; subscribers have the option of downloading individual tracks. All of the changes needed to support the podcast mean our publication schedule has been pushed back a little. Also please note that Clarion Magazine's subscription rates will be going up Dec 1, so if you're thinking of subscribing or renewing, now is the time!

A New Paradigm for Successful Acquisition of Information Systems 12 JUL 00
Abstract: Most information systems projects are over budget, under specified, delivered late, and fail to meet
organizational expectations. A key reason for these characterizations is that during the information systems
development, requirements both change and are being introduced. This paper presents a strategy whereby full
development is started only after a series of realistic code-generator produced prototypes are created through
mission-based database design techniques. The quickly accomplished prototypes are demonstrated to key
user groups, and are iterated until they truly reflect a quiesced set of valid and accurate requirements.
Production class systems created through CASE, metadata repositories and code generators will then be
on-budget, correctly specified, timely, and will meet organization expectations.

A Tree In A Page Loaded Browse (Clarion Magazine) 9 JUN 03
Clarion has a template for building a tree list control (RelTree). One of the disadvantages of this control is that the maximum tree level is fixed by the number of files you use in it.

An Introduction to CVS and WinCVS (Clarion Magazine) 14 FEB 05
Version control software has long been popular with software developers, and particularly development teams, because it offers a centralized repository for source code, and tracks and manages changes to that source code. But even if you're a software developer working on your own, version control software can be immensely useful, and not just for software, but for any file that changes over time. In this two part series, Nardus Swanevelder shows how to install and configure CVS and WinCVS, two popular and freely available open source products.

An Overview of the IP Driver, Part 1 (Clarion Magazine) 31 JAN 05
The IP driver was announced by SoftVelocity quite some time ago, and quickly generated a lot of interest in the Clarion community , because it provided a way of connection a Clarion application to any database, using just an IP, or Internet Protocol, connection. But many questions still remained. Bruce Johnson provides some insight into the design and best use of the IP driver.
An Overview of the IP Driver, Part 2 (Clarion Magazine) 31 JAN 05
In this second part of two parts, Bruce Johnson looks at the architecture of the IP driver, as well as security and cost.

The ARD Report Writer was designed to make designing reports in
Clarion for Windows easier for the end-user as well as the developer. The

his end-users to change the reports or add new designs. This way, the
developer can provide standard reports with his program, and the user can
add or change the report designes if they have need for it. The developer
determines which data fields are available for individual reports, so the
end-user doesn't have access to add other fields to the report, than it was
orignially designed for.

BASE64 Encoding Source use Within a Clarion Application (Templates & Libraries) 29 JAN 09
The size of the encoded string will be longer than the original. The size will now be int( ( OrigLen +8 +2) / 3 ) * 4
The " + 8" there is the extra bytes added by JPWBlowfish method Encode1024.
For a string of 20 characters whether you use EncodeHex or the combination of Encode1024 and Base64 you will end up with an encoded string of the same length (40 characters). The combination of Encode1024 and Base64 becomes more efficient once you are working with the original data of 30 chars or more.
I (John Griffiths) have often used the Blowfish Encryption class (JPWBlowfish) published by Gary James/Andy Ireland.
Blowfish encryption creates an encoded string that will invariably contain non-ascii characters. This is a problem when using ODBC to write (and read) to a SQL database. This is due to the inclusion of illegal characters.

Beginning SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services Part 1 (Tips) 7 OCT 06
If ever there was job for "real" developers to shuffle to their juniors, it is building reports. It's not real development anyway; it's more like glorified formatting. Besides, the esoteric tools that you use to build reports try to provide an abstraction layer, which often prevents you from having any real control over the report. I've heard all these arguments before. If this sounds like a conversation you've had by the water cooler, then I invite you to take a closer look at SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS).

In Part 1 of this article, we looked at the basics of SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 (SSRS). We built one report with the Report Wizard, and one report using the Report Designer. In Part 2, we are going to look in more depth at the features that you can use everyday as an SSRS developer.
We will investigate:

Beyond Ada: The First Paranoid Programming Language (Humor) (Web Sites) 28 DEC 05
Stunned at the bulk of Ada, which a few of us braver souls were teaching ourselves strictly against the wishes of the Pascal-loving Department, the concept of a language so huge and awful that it was utterly impossible to write a meaningful program, and with such bizarre constructs that nobody would want to use it, evolved. And all before Ada 9X escaped into the real world.

Bitsom Technologies (Utilities) 21 FEB 04
PECompact - Compress and protect win32 executables. PECompact is a well known executable compressor that is the most configurable on the market. It works by compressing the executable and installing a symbiote that decompresses and reconstructs the executable at runtime in memory with extremely low latency. By compressing your portable executable, it is inherently protected against reverse engineering, may load faster from disks and networks, and has a smaller physical size.
SetCsum - Console mode application to set the checksum in the header of a win32 portable executable (exe, dll, etc..). Free
SetSubSys - Console mode application to set the subsystem (character [console], windows [GUI], etc..) of win32 portable executables. Free
TrimPE - Trims portable executable files by optimizing their structure (realigning to minimum file alignment), stripping debug information, overlays, and relocations. No compression or code additions are performed. This is a console mode application and supports wildcards and directory recursion. Free
Anti-Windows Messenger - This small freeware application terminates Windows Messenger whenever it is launched. This app is for Windows2000/XP only. Free
DriverSpyNt - View I/O Request Packets (IRPs) sent to device drivers. This is an excellent tool for debugging device drivers or reverse engineering device driver interfaces.
MakeService - Console mode application that allows any program to be run as an NT system service. Free
MoveLater - Console mode application to set copy, rename, or delete operations to occur at the next system boot. It can also enumerate pending delayed file operations. Works with all win32 flavors. Visual C++ source code included! Free
Outlook Express Hotmail Ad Killer - This application kills the annoying ad window in Outlook Express's hotmail integration. Free
NT Driver Dispatch Dumper - This utility was written several years ago while exploring NT device drivers. It displays the dispatch table of device drivers. The dispatch table is the table of entry points for various requests.
Portable Executable Compressor/Bundler Benchmarker - This utility, which includes C++ source, times the decompression or reconstruction time of executable compressors, bundlers, or other portable executable tools which attach themselves to a host executable. It works by timing the interval between the process creation and the instruction pointer reaching the host executable's original entry point. We use this to keep our software optimal.
Process Supervisor NE - Process Supervisor automatically manages running processes using a rule based approach. It can automatically restrain processes hogging all the CPU usage, set applications to always run at specific priorities, prevent certain applications from running, and much more. This is a one of a kind application, a first from Bitsum Technologies.
PWShow - PWShow (PasswordShow) displays the characters being asterisks in password fields of many applications. It works with all win32 flavors and is completely free.
WfpAdmin - Dynamically disable Windows File Protection so that Windows 2000 and XP system files can be replaced. This is the only utility on the market that can programmatically temporarily disable Windows File Protection (a.k.a. System File Checker, SFC).
Need a DLL to dynamically disable WFP on folders so that your installer can replace system files?
Asmvars - This is a nifty utility that scans assembly language projects for unreferenced variables, a feature missing from assemblers. Free
Bit I/O C++ Classes - These two C++ classes, bitin and bitout, facilitate bit input and output. They are great for compression or encryption algorithms, or any other code that requires input and output on a bit scale. They are free for use after contacting us to let us know you are using them. Free
Boyer-Moore String Search Algorithm - This high-performance string search algorithm includes assembly language source and an easy to use DLL. It includes a binary search function in addition to case sensitive and insensitive string searches. Speed up your string and phrase searches substantially using this DLL. Free
LZSS Implementation in C++ - This is a very simple implementation of the LZSS compression algorithm written in C++. I wrote this years ago and it is poorly formatted and implemented, but is a good example and may be useful for someone. Free
JCALG1 - High performance compression library. Intended for extremely good compression ratio and very rapid decompression with low memory overhead. Used by PECompact. Written in x86 32-bit assembly language, the full source code is included. The compression ratio is generally better than Zip's Deflate and other common compression algorithms. Included is a DLL and libraries for easy use in your own projects. For more information and compression results of the canterbury corpus, click here. Free
Disabling Windows File Protection in Windows 2000 and Windows XP - This article explains the latest information about disabling Windows File Protection and clears up some common myths.
The Truth About Windows Memory Optimizers, Boosters, Cleaners, and Washers - This article is a non-technical overview of virtual memory and how these memory optimizers work.
Undocumented Encrypted File System APIs - This article documents a few undocumented EFS APIs to read and write encrypted files in their raw unencrypted form.
PEBundle - Combine an application and the files it depends on into a seamless binary. Modules can even be downloaded from the interenet at runtime. There are numerous uses for this technology, including reduction of "DLL Hell" problems, bundling a script with its interpreter, protection from reverse engineering, and much more. Available in English, Russian, and German.

BK ReplaceEm 11 DEC 00
Welcome to the wonderful world of BK ReplaceEm, your premiere-quality, freeware string-replacing utility for
Windows 95/98/NT. At its core, BK ReplaceEm is essentially a text search-and-replace program. However,
unlike the search-replace functionality of a standard text editor, BK ReplaceEm is designed to operate on
multiple files at once. And you need not only perform one search-replace operation per file -- you can setup a
list of operations to perform. If different groups of files need to have different operations performed on them, this
is no problem either. You can also specify a backup file for each file processed just incase the replace
operation didn’t do exactly what you wanted.

Book Review: Inside COM (Clarion Magazine) 6 FEB 04
Although Clarion 6 includes greatly expanded COM support, documentation on just how to use COM with Clarion is sparse, to say the least.

Book Review: Programming PHP (Clarion Magazine) 24 JAN 03
PHP, an open source scripting language, has become hugely popular for web site development.

Book Review: SQL Tuning (Clarion Magazine) 16 APR 04
Among Clarion developers SQL databases continue to grow in popularity. It's easy to see why - SQL offers vastly increased capabilities over flat file databases. But with power comes complexity, and with complexity comes the possibility that your SQL queries may not be running as quickly as they could. Tuning SQL statements often seems more black art than science, but in this book Dan Tow introduces a simple and effective methodology, and applies it to a variety of common problems.

C7 Goes Out To CSP Subscribers On Sept 4 (Article) (Clarion Magazine) 29 AUG 07
Core Subscription Program (CSP) subscribers on Tuesday, Sept 4, 2007. From Bob Z's blog entry it appears this release will include the Dictionary Editor and the new Dictionary Diagram tool, with the AppGen to follow at a later date. As alpha participants have found, it's relatively easy to create C7 versions of existing C6 apps even without the AppGen, although maintenance has to be done in C6. Source code apps can already be maintained entirely in C7. Runtime library enhancements in C7 include Unicode and ClearType support, tabbed MDI windows, XP styles, new sheet/tab styles, and encryption support in the Topspeed driver. The alpha includes C6 template updates to conditionally support C7 features when the code is compiled with the C7 compiler. Bob has also posted blog entries showing details of the Dictionary Editor and the Data Diagram tool. ]]>

Calling By Address, STARTing By Address (Clarion Magazine) 16 NOV 01
What would you do if someone gave you a project that involved either calling or STARTing a procedure in a DLL which was loaded dynamically at runtime, with some procedures using the Pascal calling convention, some the C calling convention, and even one procedure with an MDI window that needed to be started on its own thread? If you're Jim Kane, you write a class that handles all of this. Part 1 of 2.

Capesoft GPFReporter v2.23 (Templates & Libraries) 15 JUL 09
Sound too good to be true? Well, yeah, unfortunately, the only down side is that it only works on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. Programs containing GPFReporter will however run normally on other versions of Windows.
GPFReporter supports Clarion 5 and up, Legacy and ABC, including Multi-DLL.
We all have the same frustating feeling when clients report a GPF... especially those inconsistant, difficult to reproduce ones! Well, CapeSoft now has a quick and simple solution to help you track down the problem. GPFReporter allows you to trap program "illegal operations" and offers the user the opportunity to email a short report to the developer detailing the illegal operation. GPFReporter identifies the line number in your application source code where the illegal operation occurred , and reveals the chain of procedure calls which preceded the illegal operation. GPFReporter requires HyperActive and WinEvent, which by the way, you qualify for a 15% discount on when you buy GPFReporter.

But more importantly than just the ability, it also provides a powerful template interface which allows you to graph data directly out of your files, queues or memory.
It also features complete control over the look of your graph, from the axis settings, to the graph itself, even the legend. You control the colors, the fonts, the positioning, basically everything. Of course having control is nice, but only if you don't have to do much, so we've also included lots of default styles to choose from.

Capesoft TabTree (Templates & Libraries) 10 SEP 09
This approach is especially useful on windows where the sheet control contains many tabs, so many that the sheet control "overflows". It's also very useful on windows where you have Sheet Controls on another tab. By presenting the tab list as a tree, the layout of the window becomes a lot simpler.
TabTree allows you to add a Sheet-Management control to a window. It creates a list of all the tabs in a list box. You can then navigate between tabs using either the keyboard or mouse and the list itself.
CapeSoft Tearoff 1.1 Ready for 6.3 (Templates & Libraries) 19 JAN 06
Here's a small cheap template that adds a simple feature to your Apps. It allows you to have a TearOff

Some of the sessions will be longer and more technical, some will be short, depending on the nature of the product. We want to send programmers away knowing what is possible, and how to achieve it.
The exact program may differ from place to place depending on the level of training required, and the interest from the participants. Sure we want to sell you stuff, so we'll be demoing some of our newer, and more popular products, but we also want to make you as productive as possible with the tools you already have. So bring your credit card, and your laptop.

Census Data from 1999 (Web Sites) 29 MAY 07
Because the Census Bureau no longer tabulates decennial data by U.S. Postal Service ZIP Codes, there will be no updated versions of this file. Try contacting the U.S. Postal Service.
Since this is not a formal product, we do not accept corrections or updates from the public. The only corrections that we can accept to the ZIP Code information in our internal data base is through our various cooperative programs with the U.S. Postal Service.
The vintage of the ZIP Codes contained in the 1999 ZIP Code file is November 1999. The compressed file is 1.27 MB. It contains the following: the ZIP Code file in dBase format, and a Word document that provides a short description of the file, and it's structure. When decompressed, the .dbf file is 3.13 MB. Download ZIP1999.ZIP
This file is a byproduct of a U.S. Census Bureau internal operation. It was not developed as a formal product. However, the Census Bureau has made the 1999 ZIP Code file available to the public as is.

ClaColor - Free (Utilities) 25 AUG 06
ClaColor is a small utility program that converts HTML colors (like you
would get from a ColorPicker program (such as ColorImpact) into colors that
you can use in Clarion.
ClaColor makes it easy for you to type or paste in a HEX color code, then
it is converted to a LONG in Clarion's color format. Next a sample shape
is colored with the converted value so you can see the results immediately.
Then all you have to do is copy the Clarion color value and use it in your
application.
This can be a very useful tool when you are working with setting matching
colors for 3rd party tools such as XPTaskpanel or simply in matching some
external color scheme that you like. Just paste the value from the
clipboard into the control color field and Clarion will either use it as it
is - or convert it back to a Clarion hex value as needed.
For those that are not aware of it, normal Windows colors are stored as a
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) value - while Clarion stores them in BGR (Blue,
Green Red) format.
We (Charles Edmonds) have a new FREE utility program for you to download.

Clarion - ASP Videos and Info (Tips) 14 JUN 02
I've done some ASP programming, and it was pretty cool, but I thought, "This would be really great with templates and the dictionary!" (Torby)
SoftVelocity's Clarion/ASP templates generate Active Server Pages (ASP) web applications which provide query, navigation, and editing procedures for client/server databases over the web, increasing the productivity of web designers and enabling business application developers to easily “translate” behaviors from line of business desktop applications to the web. The generated pages integrate into existing sites both in looks and via links to and from existing pages of the site. The code produced additionally includes important features necessary for public and high volume sites such as the ability to view only the parts of a database “owned” by an individual user. The resulting applications are highly reliable, containing sophisticated error checking, yet tight and very scalable.

Clarion 6 on Vista and Clarion Version Detection for 3rd Party Products (Utilities) 9 AUG 07
As you probably know, the Windows Vista operating system provides a new
security feature named User Account Control (UAC). A Vista-aware installer
is required in order to correctly install your installations on Vista. The
same is true for Windows "Longhorn" (beta).
Even if your 3rd party vendor provides a Vista-aware installer, it's not
possible to correctly auto-detect the installed Clarion version.
The original Clarion 6 installer is unable to write to the win.ini file on
Windows Vista (or Windows "Longhorn") because this action requires
administration execution level privileges.
We (Lindersoft) have developed a small free "Clarion 6 Vista Installation Fix" installer
compiled with SetupBuilder 6.5.

Clarion and an Mp3 OCX (Templates & Libraries) 2 FEB 04
Clarion is able to interface with OCX components from the Visual Basic world; however, the integration process is a little painful and not very well documented. While I was writing a software program for my home MP3 music server, I learned the hard way how to incorporate OCX components with Clarion 6.0. In return for the many (MANY) times that fellow Clarion programmers have saved me whilst knee-deep in a project, I decided to make this source code freely available to help other Clarion programmers work with MP3 and OCX files.

Clarion FreeImage - Related projects (Templates & Libraries) 14 NOV 07
This example contains three classes. A base class that wraps the functionality of EzTwain Classic DLL, a derived class to scan into a Clarion FreeImage control, and a derived class to scan into a stock Clarion image control. There are two example projects, one illustrates how to use the FreeImage control and the other shows the use of the Clarion Image control. There's a read me file included in the archive with basic instructions.
EzTwain Classic is kindly supplied by the folks at dosadi.com.
Example of how to enumerate the displays on a multi-monitor system. This is a hand coded example that illustrates how to call the EnumDisplayMonitors and GetMonitorInfo Windows API Functions.
Note: That these functions are not available on Windows 95 or Nt 3 and 4.
Have you ever wanted vertical progress bars? How about using progress bars and icon's on the status bar? These two classes wrap the progress bar and status bar common controls. These are the classes used in Capesoft's FeMail Clarion accessory. Both classes are supplied as source code. The archive includes two test projects. One illustrates the use of the progress bar class, the other shows how to use the status bar class.
Use the Clarion FreeImage Project libraries to add alpha blended owner drawn buttons to your Clarion program. These buttons allow you to specify separate images for 4 states (normal, hot (mouse over), selected, and disabled). Only the normal state button is required all other button state images are created from the normal state for you. The buttons support all the features of a standard button control. They are standard button controls.
The really cool thing about these buttons is they allow you to make a button of any shape. You supply an image in a file format that supports alpha transparency, I suggest png, and the classy buttons class takes care of making any part of the image that's completely transparent part of the background. Areas that are semi-transparent are blended with the background.
Have you ever wanted to have smooth scrolling text displayed in an about box, or a list of items that scrolls continuously. Use your imagination for how to put this little control to use. In the spirit of the Clarion FreeImage Project this control is also free. It makes use of some of the classes used in the Clarion FreeImage Project and is dependent on it being installed first.
Clarion FreeImage Project v3.12 (Templates & Libraries) 16 APR 09
Built on the base class is an image control that you can use on your windows like the Clarion image control. It supports flicker free, resampled zooming and scrolling. The image control is 100% Clarion source code. Since you have the source code, you can recompile it as new versions of Clarion are released.
This release of the Clarion FreeImage Project adds support for version
3.10.0 of the FreeImage library. It adds support for reading and writing
JPEG-2000 File Format (*.JP2) and JPEG-2000 codestream (*.J2K, *.J2C)
images, ILM piz-based wavelet format OpenEXR files, and fixes a number of
issues. Please see freeimage.sourceforge.net for a complete change list.
You must download the new FreeImage.DLL from
http://freeimage.sourceforge.net for use with this release.
The Clarion FreeImage Project is a set of classes and a template that implement the FreeImage library in Clarion 5.5 and 6.x. FreeImage is an open source raster image processing library. The base class wraps the FreeImage DLL and includes methods to load, save, transform, rescale, create thumbnails, color correct, change bit depth, alpha blend and more. You can contribute to the project by helping with any of the tasks listed on What's Next?.

Cobian Backup is not an usual backup application: it only copies your files and folders in original or compressed mode to other destination, creating a security copy as a result. So Cobian Backup can be better described as a "Scheduler for security copies".
Cobian Backup supports several methods of compression and strong encryption.

Dealing with complexity is one of the biggest challenges of programming. There is a great need for tools that help us to better understand and manage software complexity. Such tools would not only help create better code, but would also increase software development productivity. Code generators are tools that generate complex code from a simpler model. Code generators are therefore an ideal candidate for helping cope with software complexity.

ComForMark Templates (Web Sites) 10 JUN 04
The standard ABC templates throw up a MESSAGE which says 'There were no records found' and the application grinds to a halt until someone presses the OK button on the message window!
These templates give the developer the options to...
For instance...
A template generates an SQL database script (MS SQL or Pervasive 2000) for one, or more, TPS files from your dictionary.
A template generates a 32Bit project to convert one or more files in one hit, rather than the single file stepwise fashion provided with Clarion. All source code is included so that you may modify the templates to suit your own needs.
This template was originally written to solve a problem faced by the illustrious President of the SCUG, John Thorley.
His problem arose when he needed to place 18 text controls on a Form procedure and he needed a way to let users know how much of each text box had been filled.
The first solution was a template which created a progess bar beside each text control!
Now, the challenge! How to improve it? Can options be added to reposition the progress bar? What about alternate colors? Can it be made into a class?
All solutions/improvements should be emailed to Geoff Bomford who will present them at the monthly SCUG meetings - first Wednesday of each month. Contributors will be acknowledged at the meeting and toasted with a glass of local ale!

Compiled Reports From Report Writer (Clarion Magazine) 2 APR 04
As far as Henry Plotkin is concerned, the best thing about Clarion Report Writer is the ability to set up the finished page without having to adjust the position of each individual band. The next best thing about Report Writer is that report testing is much faster. It does not require a compile-link cycle. It does not require minimizing Clarion, starting the application and navigating to the report. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to design reports in Report Writer, and then just copy them into a Clarion report procedure? Actually, it can be done, and fairly easily.

Configuring Opportunistic Locking in Windows (Tips) 6 SEP 06
By default, opportunistic locking is enabled for server message block (SMB) clients that run one of the Windows operating systems that is listed at the beginning of this article. Opportunistic locking allows clients to lock files and locally cache information without the risk of another user changing the file. This increases performance for many file operations but may decrease performance in other operations because the server that grants the opportunistic lock must manage the breaking of that lock when another user requests access to the file.
Configuring opportunistic locking in Windows (Tips) 21 MAY 07
By default, opportunistic locking is enabled for server message block (SMB) clients that run one of the Windows operating systems that is listed in the "Applies to" section. Opportunistic locking lets clients lock files and locally cache information without the risk of another user changing the file.

A customer's request to save printer bin selections sent Jim Gambon off on an exploration of the printer DevMode structure. In this two part series Jim explains how to create a 16/32 bit DevMode that really works, and how to use it to get full control of your printers. Part 2.
ControlMonitor (Templates & Libraries) 14 MAY 03
The need for this class came about as the result of a problem I had
involving a image editor which needed to be updated whenever data on one of
any of over a hundred controls was changed. Even though I had the actual
update code in a routine, I did NOT want to have to place calls to the
routine in all those different control embed points. Then there was also
the problem that the update routine needed to be called whenever the other
code in the program changed the data as well.
Support was added for the Sysinternals DebugView program so that a
programmer could view output as the class was working without relying on
STOP, HALT or MESSAGE statements (which are known to interfere with the code
processing ).
This class will monitor ALL the controls and data on a window and execute
code whenever ANY of the data is changed. What is significant about this is
that you only have to put your code at a single embed point (instead of on
each control).

Converting TPS Files To A New Layout (Clarion Magazine) 25 FEB 05
No matter how hard you plan your database design; sooner or later you will want to change the layout of your application's TPS data files. Clarion has a mechanism for converting files in the dictionary editor, but it doesn't work on files that contain BLOBs or arrays. It also doesn't help if your application is installed in multiple sites, where the Clarion dictionary editor is not available. If you make changes to the file's structure and then distribute your application, your end users will get that dreaded error 47. That is, unless you do what Abe Jimenez does.

Credit Card Number Formats 12 DEC 01
This document outlines procedures and algorithms for Verifying the accuracy and validity of credit card numbers. Most credit card numbers are encoded with a "Check Digit". A check digit is a digit added to a number (either at the end or the beginning) that validates the authenticity of the number. A simple algorithm is applied to the other digits of the number which yields the check digit. By running the algorithm, and comparing the check digit you get from the algorithm with the check digit encoded with the credit card number, you can verify that you have correctly read all of the digits and that they make a valid combination.

Custom Queue Sorting (Clarion Magazine) 24 JUL 02
Clarion queues have two basic sorting methods built in - numeric, and alphabetical. But there are times when neither of those will suffice. Gordon Smith shows how to implement a custom queue sorting procedure.
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 1 (Clarion Magazine) 9 AUG 10
The Clarion Magazine office will be closed through Tuesday, August 10. We'll be back on Wednesday. Meanwhile, take a look at our updated roadmap to Clarion development! It's not quite done yet (still a few hundred articles to slot into place, and some corrections to be made), but it'll give you a good idea of the scope of ClarionMag's content. And be sure to read the instructions on how to create your own customized view of the roadmap!
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 2 (Clarion Magazine) 7 SEP 10
Clarion 5 introduced the ability to sort queues with a function call. But why would you want to do that? Simon Kemp explains not just why, but how, with a class and an easy to use template. Part 1 of 3.
Custom Queue Sorting, Part 3 (Clarion Magazine) 17 AUG 10
Clarion 6 introduced the ability to sort queues with a function call. In this second of three parts Simon Kemp goes over his sorting class and the accompanying template.

CW Barcode Toolkit 20 JUN 00
You should run, not walk, to the nearest computer and send an email to
Maurice Pilotte (maurice@worldpath.net). He's got the best CW barcode
toolkit around. I'm using his Postnet and i2of5 barcodes in our software
developed for USCertifiedLetters.com.
CW Flex 26 AUG 97
With the cooperation of TopSpeed Corporation I am developing a DataFlex driver for
Clarion for Windows. The driver is currently in a limited beta test with a couple of
bugs remaining before the release candidate is ready. Once the driver is completed, it
will be announced in the Clarion newsgroup (comp.lang.clarion) and on the
CompuServe forum. If you would like additional information about the driver or
ordering information, please fill out this form. You can also call (888) 372-1700 or
(801) 374-9633 for additional information.

CW Wall Chart - a visual procedure map of the WindowManager Class (Tips) 2 MAY 05
It's a visual map of the ABC class WindowManager. Once you get the hang of how ABC works it's very easy. As 40% of the poupulation respond quicker to visual data, I thought you might like this.
It's cheap and cheerful, but it does demonstrate the logical, top down flow of an ABC prodecure and even suggests some places to codes or check things (not complete, maybe next version). The idea is to give an overview of the main functions/purpose - always check the help and the .CLW source files for a better understanding.
I thought this wall chart may come in handy for developers (existing and new to abc).

CWCM Compile Manager 11 SEP 00
Has a feature to shut down and restart CW for your REALLY big apps. Makes .prj files. Updated Sept 2000.
In case you make changes on the source, please send
your changes with a short comment back to schoeffler@ralfs.de !!
The CWCM Compile Manager is now freeware!! (binary and APP)
CWEdit 2000 (Utilities) 4 JUL 02
Here is a plain and simple Clarion Source Code editor that I made recently to find out how difficult it would be to
make a decent editor for Clarion. Unfortunately I lost my interest to this editor when the project was about 80%
completed (means: only the "bells and whistles" are missing and some minor bugs may still lurk there as well),
so I never finished it the way I originally wanted to.
CWIC Web hosts your CWIC applications 9 FEB 00
CwKeys (Free) 19 APR 01
CwKeys lets you view and / or change the keyboard shortcuts simply by pressing the desired key combination!
This works for both Clarion5 and Clarion5.5. Up to two shortcuts per function are supported.
If you've ever taken a look at the C5EDT.INI or C55EDT.INI files in your CLARION\BIN directory, you might have
seen that the keyboard shortcuts are fully configurable (nice job, SV!). If you've taken a closer look you might
also have seen that there are functions that are not accessible via the editor menu (I don't know if these are
even undocumented, at least I couldn't find them documented anywhere).
CWPlus v3.02 (Utilities) 9 MAY 05
Mistake-proof work!
CWPlus will never make a mistake when you use it to paste a needed identifier into your program body while the identifier itself is easy to pick up from a suggested list. Now you can give longer and more informative names to the variables since you can still easily paste these into the text. CWPlus will attend a complex identifier name entry. Just in case you've lost connection with the CWPlus window in the process, occasionally you may enter a wrong name but not to worry - simply delete the wrong character with the Backspace button and the connection re-establishes!
CWPlus is the auxiliary integrated tool for Clarion for Windows IDE and allows to simplify manual coding essentially. Now it appears in the CW Editor toolbar and has options for formatting code and data embeds. CWPlus realizes analogues of the most important elements of Microsoft IntelliSense technology as applied to Clarion, such as:
Any programmer is expected to memorize a lot of information about his application: how a certain procedure is called, all the numerous names, labels, identifiers. Instead of concentrating on the task, you have to keep on remembering all these. Enough of this! Now you have a reliable assistant to remember all this routine information for you. He will prompt you the needed information at any time and he will easily handle an object with many enclosed properties, as well as suggest a procedure prototype to you or show you a variable type just at the pointing of a mouse cursor.
cwScript (Templates & Libraries) 26 AUG 06
cwScript is NOT a template, but an ActiveX OCX Control written especially for Clarion. What's the difference? An ActiveX control is a self contained server program that executes commands directly from Clarion. A template is Clarion's way of generating code based on a set of rules. With an ActiveX control there are no hidden lines of code, you determine exactly how your program operates.

the file now from Icetips. Look for
Dan Pressnell's class (Tips) 7 MAR 06
Dan has also uploaded a small class which allows Clarion's IDE to be
used to create classes, so that the class source stays in the app
tree, and is generated along with the rest of the app. Get it at Icetips.
Dan Pressnell's MySQL Browse for Legacy (Templates & Libraries) 2 DEC 02
There is another thing to look out for with the legacy template. If you
have a page loaded browse, and call a procedure that retrieves records on
the same table, you MUST have a window open in that other procedure before
the retrieval, or that procedure will have its result set incorrectly
limited. I might be able to fix this in the future, but it's difficult
given the lack of adequate embed points in Clarion's legacy browse template.
I've created a template that will turn Legacy template browses for MySQL
into true page loaded browses. I've added it to the package that does page
loaded ABC browses.
There is one important thing that this template (and the ABC class) won't do
correctly. If you use "ValidateRecord" code to to filter records, your list
box won't be filled. There is no way to fix that, so avoid that technique.
Dan Pressnell's SQL examples (Tips) 20 JUL 02
I have uploade to http://toolwares.com/ClarionBaseballForWindows.ZIP a small
example package of using some techniques I think will help. It is an ABC
app, and DCT, and a Microsoft Access database. If you have the Access ODBC
driver already installed on your computer, it should work. It uses the
template generated FORM procedures, but not the browses. All the browses
are hand coded into WINDOW template procedures for flexibility and speed.

Key features :
The DC template is intended for automatic datafiles converting
when application dictionary changes.
Data Ferret v4.12 (Utilities) 30 MAY 06
Data Ferret v4.06 is now available as a free at source add-on for Clarion
applications.
If you have not seen Data Ferret before, it is a program which extracts pure
company data from yellow pages type web sites. So rather than having to
copy and paste the results of searches, Data Ferret does it all for you, and
stores the results in a TPS file. These results can then either be printed
to Labels, mail merged letters or exported to other formats for refining. So
if you need to write to all the pizza restaurants in a particular state or
town, Data Ferret can bring up the website for you to enter the search into
it, and once the first page of results appears, click on the Extract button
and all the company details are then extracted and stored in a Topspeed file
on your machine. It then automatically goes to the next page of results and
extracts the results from that, next page, extract etc etc until no more
results are shown. It then allows you to add to that data to refine it for
marketing your products.
Data Ferret's demo 29 DEC 00
This app demonstrates getting Web Builder and Messaging to work
together, and using the POP3 Authorization class to "open the
door" for SMTP for the ISP's who require it.
Look for the Holiday Greeting and see the blurb before you
download. Note that there are places where things like domains,
POP3 user id/Password, and other data must be hand-coded in, but
as everything is generally either "XYZ Company" or
"youraddress," "yourpassword," and "yourdomain" that shouldn't
be too hard to do.
Merry Christmas from the Data Ferret.
Data Ferret's Telephone Lair Page Updated Apr 27, 2001 27 APR 01
My own (Data Ferret's) experience with the ExceleTel TeleTools 3.5 package indicates that it works very well with Clarion for
Windows 5b. News Flash! I have now tested it with C5.5 RC-1, and it works just fine with this release! <<
The TTSSamples.zip contains the TeleTools CallerID and DeviceInfo sample apps ported to Clarion 5b and
additional files containing EQUATE's and such necessary to compile and run the ported sample apps.
You may use these apps as the basis for your future development with TeleTools.

Data Structures and Algorithms Part I: The Dynamic Stack (Clarion Magazine) 19 APR 02
On the newsgroups it happens time and time again: a Clarion newbie asks: "How do I implement a Tree in Clarion?" or "How do I implement a List in Clarion?" These aren't questions about tree controls or list boxes; they're about established, standard data structures. Here is the first article in a series by Alison Neal outlining how to implement standard data structures and algorithms in Clarion.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part II - The List (Clarion Magazine) 17 MAY 02
How many times have you been asked to write a list? Lists are everywhere: there are shopping lists, to do lists, lists of people's contact details, and lists of appointments. The List is so pervasive and so valuable that many people have spent many years discovering how to effectively represent this structure in computer memory with the greatest efficiency.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part III - Maintaining Order (Clarion Magazine) 19 JUN 02
Alison Neal continues her series on basic data structures and algorithms with a discussion of list sorting, beginning with the Bubble Sort.

Alison Neal continues her series on basic data structures and algorithms with a discussion of the Cocktail Shaker, Insertion, and Counting sorts.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part IX - Are You Getting Too Tall? (Clarion Magazine) 26 SEP 02
There are two approaches that can be taken to make sure that the Binary Search Tree always provides the best-case scenario. The first is known as a Weight Balanced (or Perfectly Balanced) Tree; the other, and the subject of this edition of Data Structures And Algorithms, is the Height Balanced (or AVL) Tree.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part V - The Sort Goes On (Clarion Magazine) 17 JUL 02
Alison Neal continues her discussion of sorting algorithms with the Radix, Selection, Heap, and Quick sorts.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part VI - All Sorted Out (Clarion Magazine) 26 JUL 02

Data Structures and Algorithms Part VII - Up a Tree (Clarion Magazine) 29 AUG 02
In this installment of this series on data structures and algorithms, Alison Neal talks about the Tree data structure (which is not the same thing as a Clarion tree control).
Data Structures And Algorithms Part VIII - Watching Your Weight (Clarion Magazine) 10 SEP 02
In her previous article, Alison Neal discussed Trees, and more specifically the Binary Search Tree. She also pointed out the main shortcoming of the Binary Search Tree, which is that when data is entered in sorted order, the structure collapses into a linked list. The solution? Weight balanced trees.
Data Structures And Algorithms Part X - Going Out Of Your Tree? (Clarion Magazine) 24 OCT 02
In the previous installment in this series, Alison Neal discussed the AVL Tree or Height Balanced Tree; in this article Alison continues her discussion of the AVL Tree and shows how to delete an individual item while still maintaining the sub tree heights.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XI - Binary Search Tree Indexing (Clarion Magazine) 8 NOV 02
Have you ever wanted to key index a text file so that you can fetch a single record directly? In this article Alison Neal shows how you can do this using a Binary Search Tree.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XII - Trie This (Clarion Magazine) 4 DEC 02
In this article Alison Neal introduces a data structure known as the Trie, which is basically a type of general tree, containing words rather than numbers. The Trie is an immensely useful data structure when storing strings in memory. The Trie has been used for such things as computerized Boggle and Yahtzee games, and file compression algorithms.
Data Structures and Algorithms Part XIII - Trie Hard (Clarion Magazine) 19 DEC 02
In her last installment, Alison Neal introduced a data structure called the Trie, which is used for storing strings in computer memory. In this article Alison continues her discussion of the Trie, and covers some of the other methods that are contained in the Trie Class, namely the Search, Print and Kill methods.

David Bayliss on FieldClass (Clarion Magazine) 12 APR 99
FieldClass is one of the smaller ABC classes, but it's responsible for almost 30% of the reduction in generated code between the legacy and ABC templates. David examines the rationale behind FieldClass and explains the implementation. This extensive article includes a lot of useful information on the care and treatment of ANYs.
David Bayliss On The ConstantClass (Clarion Magazine) 19 MAR 99
The management of constants in an application presents a number of ticklish problems. As DAB writes, "Should I explain the design insights I should have had (as I can now see with perfect 20-20 hindsight) or should I detail the evolution of the Constant Class from the germ of an idea into one of the cornerstones of the system?"
David Bayliss On The ErrorClass (Clarion Magazine) 22 FEB 99

DB Designer 29 AUG 01
Most currently available tools for designing business system databases start with an empty slate. The engineer
designs from the bottom up - typically going through a learning curve that has been gone through by several
other developers of similar systems.
DB Designer takes a different approach. It includes collections of hundreds of template tables and 'field classes'
extracted from well known business products.

The latest DCOM
upgrade from Microsoft cures allot of GPF's that are their fault not yours,
in addition try using the auto update feature on Windows 98 before debugging
your app. It may save you quite a bit of time if the problem is not your

DebugView is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debug output, so you don’t need a debugger to catch the debug output your applications or device drivers generate, nor do you need to modify your applications or drivers to use non-standard debug output APIs.
DebugView works on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4, 2000, XP and .NET Server.

Dependency Walker (Utilities) 12 DEC 01
Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module (exe, dll, ocx, sys, etc.) and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are actually being called by other modules. Another view displays the minimum set of required files, along with detailed information about each file including a full path to the file, base address, version numbers, machine type, debug information, and more.
Dependency Walker v2.1 (Utilities) 11 JAN 03
Dependency Walker is also very useful for troubleshooting system errors related to loading and executing modules. Dependency Walker detects many common application problems such as missing modules, invalid modules, import/export mismatches, circular dependency errors, mismatched machine types of modules, and module initialization failures.
Dependency Walker runs on Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, and XP. It can process any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module, including ones designed for Windows CE. It can be run as graphical application or as a console application. Dependency Walker handles all types of module dependencies, including implicit, explicit (dynamic / runtime), forwarded, delay-loaded, and injected. A detailed help is included.
Dependency Walker is completely free to use. However, you may not profit from the distribution of it, nor may you bundle it with another product.

Designing Crosstab Reports In Clarion (Part 1) (Clarion Magazine) 11 SEP 01
One of the more common and useful reports is the crosstab report, which can be defined as any report that summarizes data in a two dimensional grid, such as breaking down sales data into monthly or quarterly sales. Other report writing tools often supply a wizard to guide the user through the process of creating this type of report. Clarion, however leaves the programmer to his or her own devices to create this standard summary. Part 1 of 2.

Earlier this year I was doing some contract programming for a large

Large companies have lawyers. Lawyers don't always know much about the field
in which they give advice. Anyway, the lawyers concerned here wanted me to
sign a document saying that all the artwork included in my programming was
my own work. It was not sufficient that I had rights to it !
So I had to buy an icon editor and make icons.
It was actually quite good fun!
Now includes 900 icons. I'm selling them cheaply in the hope they help someone else ... Dave Beggs

DEF and DET will be C6 compatible, I've ordered the update. Maybe this

DieHard (Utilities) 28 DEC 06
One way that the computer becomes more vulnerable results from the fact that "addresses" that are designated for a password, for example, will be on the same lot on the same street in every version of the program. So if a hacker overwrites a password, he or she can easily locate the password address on any of the umpteen versions of the program that are out there.
DieHard presents several remedies to such problems. First, it takes a compact row of memory buildings and spreads them around in the landscape. It also randomly assigns addresses-a password that has a downtown address in one session may be in the suburbs next time around. And in some versions of the program, DieHard will secretly launch two additional versions of the program the user is running-if a program starts to crash, that buggy version gets shut down and one of the other two is selected to remain open. DieHard can also tell a user the likelihood that they'll have been affected by a particular bug.
"Ironically, crashing is the best thing that can happen," says Berger. "An overflow also can make your computer exploitable by hackers."
Digital Data Integration 1 FEB 02
1.) Primarily the ODBC Driver allows handheld databases to appear as tables directly within corporate databases, which enable users to access live data for queries, reports, forms, charts, and mail-merge without having to do any conversions.
2.) Secondarily, the ODBC Driver will synchronize changes made to the database across all entry points between the handheld and desktop versions of HanDBase, and ODBC enabled back-end database programs, such as MS Access, JDBC, Clarion, Crystal Reports, and Sybase.
3.) Lastly, the ODBC Driver also expands opportunities for enterprise application developers and systems integrators. Application developers will be able to use the new ODBC driver to write custom applications that can access current handheld data using developer tools such as JDBC, Visual Basic, Crystal Reports or Microsoft Access, greatly simplifying the process of integrating handheld data into custom written applications.
The new HanDBase ODBC Driver is a tool that integrates data contained within the Palm or Pocket PC handheld computer and back-end corporate data files in three functional ways.

Text analytics is a process of information extraction whose goal is to automatically extract structured or semistructured information from unstructured machine-readable documents. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Thorough text analysis requires much more than simple string matching. For example, the word "nice" in a sentence like 'Nice to see you here' is not a city, while 'Nice is a great place to relax' does mention a city. Our products are able to distinguish between different meanings of the same word.

you need 14! You can go field by field changing the picture, OR you can apply this
template and in just a minute expand all your entries, strings, columns
inside tables and reports pictures to whatever you want. For example, if
you set a value of 2, your @n10.2 pictures become @n12.2, your @n-11.3
become @n-13.3 and so forth.
The template changes the pictures for "amount" type fields (numeric with
decimal):

DOS POS Printing 26 NOV 01
It is a "virtual DOS printer driver" that sits in the system tray and
monitors for the presence of a pre defined text file.
If it finds that the file exists, it prints it to a pre defined windows
printer. This can be a network printer, a USB Printer, a PDF Driver, even a
fax. If it exists in Windows you can print to it.
It supports Epson printer codes.
If you are having the same problems I am with more and more printers
refusing to print from your DOS programs, check out my new version of DOS
Printer.
DOS Printer v11 (Utilities) 21 FEB 06
New in this release is the ability to take a rich text file and use it as
the background for a report, thus allowing you to use a "virtual letterhead"
with colours, fonts and logos - all from within your DOS Program. This
helps make the email function more useful as you no longer need physical
letterhead paper.
DOSPRINTER is a little programme that sits in the system tray and monitors for the presence of a certain text file. If that file exists, DOSPRINTER opens the file and prints it using WINDOWS mechanisms to any WINDOWS printer that you specify. It acts just like a "virtual printer driver".

Double Metaphone (Web Sites) 25 MAR 02
Finding words or names that might be spelled differently than the search string that was typed in presents an aggravated case of this problem. English is not only well known for having maddeningly irrational spelling practices, but in America we have also accumulated names from all over the world. The first algorithm to deal with this problem, Soundex, is gratifyingly simple, but it is not at all an adequate solution. It often fails to do the job of returning alternatives that are pronounced similarly to the search string.

Dreaming in Code (Books) 16 APR 08
"So while I hope that programmers will enjoy this work, it is meant equally or more for the rest of us. It poses a question and tells a tale. Why is good software so hard to make? Since no one seems to have a definitive answer even now, at the start of the twenty-first century, fifty years deep into the computer era, I offer, by way of exploration, the tale of the making of one piece of software -- a story about a group of people setting their shoulders once more to the boulder of code and heaving it up the hill, stymied by obstacles old and new, struggling to make something useful and rich and lasting."
"The shelves of the world are full of how-to books for software developers. This is not one of them. I'm barely an elementary programmer myself. I wouldn't presume to try to teach the experts. And if my research had uncovered some previously unknown innovation or fail-safe insight into building better software, I'd be smarter to seek investors, not readers.

DrTCP (Utilities) 26 FEB 04
Notes by Peter Kirk:
Eventually traced the problem to MTU settings which set the size of the data
block sent in each transmission. If it is set too large you get lots of
retransmissions and the data is said to be fragmented.. hence the system
runs like a snail..
It is very simple to test.. Open your DOS command box (or Press START and
RUN) and type the following:
PING YourServerName -F -L MaxDataSize
where YourserverName is the Server NetBios Name or IP and the MaxDataSize
is the datablock size ranging from 400 to 1500 bytes. On win98 machines I
found 1472 to be a typical value, but with my XP machine it could be as low
as 472 on the same network.
If you get a data fragmented message then the DataSize is too high and you
need to reduce it until the PING return is normal. The optimum value is
approx 32bytes below the point where fragmentation begins.
The modification nees some changes to your registry and there is a useful
applet called DrTCP which you can download from the following site:
http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp
broadbandreports.com presents DrTCP - by moderator DrTCP, and the users of the tweaks forum.
You Will Need To Reboot (older windows) or Restart Networking (2k,XP) For DrTCP Changes to 'take'
I had a similar problem (very slow access) accessing an NT4 Server using XP. Browses would
take 30s to open in XP, but only 0.5s to open using win98.

In other words the EIP Template gives you full RAD support for real Edit-in-place use. All you have to do is add the extension template and set the template properties. There is no need for adding additional controls to your procedure.
The code generated by the EIP Template is completely reusable. It generates only the exact code required for each specific instance of its use; it does not inherit unused methods. The EIP Templates is also polymorphic, since the programmer specifies the features and functions that are required for the procedure. The benefit for the programmer is the complete flexibility to generate code that is directly suited to the programmer's needs.
The EIP Template is designed with the objective to add full template support for the Clarion Edit-in-place List box. You are not required to add any embed code to the implemented Edit-in-place functionality in your list box, as long as the functionality is supported by the EIP Template (See the Feature List).

Enough Already - The Windows 16bit Subsystem - XP Pro (Tips) 25 JUN 07
As some of you might already know, a couple of months or so back, I came across this site, after talking to Viggo Kleven. It talks about the issues, and has what it calls "An illegal, dangerous, patch that could solve the problem for you".
Well after having to reboot my machine 5 times in the last two days, I (Mark Sarson) decided to install the "An illegal, dangerous, patch that could solve the problem for you" new version.

EntabberPro (Utilities) 24 OCT 02
No changes to your existing applications are required! So, how does it work? EntabberPro monitors all pressed keys before they are sent to the target applications; if it detects an enter key it checks it's internal database and if required changes the key stroke to a tab key. This process is "invisible" to the target of the key press, IOW the running applications don't even "know" that the enter key had been pressed at all.

Explanation of Opportunistic Locking on NT (Tips) 10 MAR 03
When a second process attempts to open the file, the original owner will be asked to Break Oplock or Break to Level II Oplock. At that point, the redirector must invalidate cached data, flush writes and locks, and release the oplock, or close the file.
Opportunistic Locking level II, provides a method for granting read access to a file by more than one workstation, and these workstations can cache read data locally (read-ahead). As long as no station writes to the file, multiple stations can have the file open with level II oplock.
With Exclusive Oplock, if a file is opened in a non-exclusive (deny none) mode, the redirector requests an opportunistic lock of the entire file. As long as no other process has the file open, the server will grant this oplock, giving the redirector exclusive access to the specified file. This will allow the redirector to perform read-ahead, write-behind, and lock caching, as long as no other process tries to open the file.

Facts and Fallacies about First Normal Form (Tips) 9 JUN 09
In spite of it being referred to as the disfigured stepchild of the relational model, SQL has achieved success and stability due to its core foundations on the relational model. However, certain relational concepts like First Normal Form ( or 1NF for short ) can take a wild twist when they are discussed within the context of SQL. Since the concept is so often misinterpreted, it is not easy to grasp the fundamental principle that, in SQL, a table must inevitably adhere to 1NF. In this article, I (Anith Sen) try to dispel some of the popular misconceptions associated with 1NF, to explain its structural underpinnings, and to provide some practical guidelines.

With this beta 1 release we have included support for MsSQL. We are currently working on Oracle support, and after that we'll be doing the other popular SQL engines as well. Our goal is to create a system that easily lets you convert your files (tables) regardless of the file system you are using.
File Manager 3 builds on the functionality provided by File Manager 2 (it includes ALL Fm2 functionality), and adds a few tricks of it's own. The primary addition has been the creation of a SQL engine. This will allow Fm3 to convert SQL based files in the same way that Fm2 converts TPS files. Also Fm3 is able to convert from TPS to SQL creating a very smooth upgrade path for your programs.
File Tuner v0.52 (Templates & Libraries) 2 AUG 10
FileTuner is a Topspeed and Btrieve file tester, refresher and fixer.
It is a template coupled with an app, which has a Browse procedure that
combined with a template will take any DCT you specify, and will allow you
to test, scan and fix damaged files. The procedures in the app can be
imported into yours, or you can change the DCT of the app (It is sort of
"plug and play"). you don't need to change anything in your DCT. For
Topspeed files, it uses the Tpsfix and Topscan programs, but it masks them
for the end user. For Btrieve, it will use Butil and internal libraries.
While it is not fully automatic yet, you may simply "select all" and go for
it (A full process would be two steps; first test, then "Fix broken files",
if any). The interfase is clean as you can see in the attached picture... a
green pin marks a selected file (only selected files are processed). For
each selected file a red cross mean not found, a green flag, file ok, and a
red flag, file broken.

Filter bug in C55H that breaks xPlore (Tips) 15 FEB 03
So, to fix this load ABQUERY.CLW and scroll down to the QUERYCLASS.GETLIMIT
procedure; In this procedure you will find the following snippet of code:

You need to change it too:
IF Value[1] = '^' ! When the carat is the second character i.e. *^
Seems to work for us and hasn't broken anything to our knowledge!

For those of you that use Xplore and are running C55H you will probably know
about the filter problem, and if you look on the newsgroups you will find a
fix in ABQUERY.CLW. We have been running this fix but a customer has

work.

Frame Text from Solid Software C6.2 ready version is available. (Templates & Libraries) 23 JUN 05
FrameText allows you to specify all parameters like:
FrameText works with Clarion 5 as well as 5.5, supports both (legacy and
ABC) template chains and produces 16 and 32bit applications. For details
visit http://www.solidsoftware.de/frametxt.htm. A demo is available.
FrameText. This is a small
extension that allows you to display text on your application frame's client
area. The MDI client area is often the only part of a program that is
visible ALL THE TIME, so it is even worse that (without FrameText) it is not
possible to use this valuable space, which could otherwise be used for
displaying license information, advertisement, tips of day etc.
All this can be done by simply adding an extension template to your frame
procedure. All settings mentioned above can be either fixed and chosen
directly or variable (assigned at runtime). You'll have your FrameText
running in under 5 minutes without writing a single line of code!
Frank Piscopo's Free Clarion Utilities 6 MAR 99
Frank Piscopo's Report Writer template (Templates & Libraries) 21 DEC 99
Just add this extension to your apps, and your reports written in Report
Writer come to life on your frame menu. You can include any combination of
reports, located in any directory (or multiples thereof), and you can
organise them in any way you want on any menu in the frame. Reports defined
in each .TXR file are organised in their respective sub-menus, or you can
opt not to use a sub-menu and all the reports in all .TXRs will appear in
one single menu. When the users select a report from the menu, they are
prompted for any runtime variables defined in your .TXR(s) in the form of a
wizard.
There is only one catch: your .TXR files have to be in text form - i.e. you
cannot protect them with a password.
You'll find both versions on Icetips, CW2 and C4. The 16-bit libraries for
'Standalone' compiles are bugged, but that has now been fixed, and as soon
as Arnor removes the files from Icetips, I will be able to upload the
update.
Walter Vandenplas suggested multi-language support. Great idea. I'll try
to implement that in the next few weeks. Maybe even password protection of
the Settings screen.
Check it out. At the risk of my sounding patronising, you'll probably ask
why Topspeed did not include something like that in the first place. The
system has certainly made MY life that much easier.
Of course, it's all FREE.

Free fix for @D7 entry fields (Templates & Libraries) 8 FEB 03
This template works around the problem by changing the field picture to @D5 while the field has focus, and back to @D7 when the user leaves it. It's a Global template, so you populate it once and it fixes all your date fields in all your windows. It fixes all the @D7 forms (@D07, @D7-, etc.).
It solves a problem wth date entry fields with picture @D7 in Clarion 5.5 and later. In clarion 5.0 and earlier, if you entered one or two digits and pressed tab, the run time library interpreted them as "day", and automatically added the current month and year, a very useful feature. With 5.5 and later, the same digits are interpreted as "month" causing lots of protests from users used to the previous behaviour.

From Starter to Ultimate: What's really in each Windows 7 Edition? (Web Sites) 5 JUN 09
I (Ed Bott) have been pestering contacts at Microsoft for an official features list for months, and they’ve politely but persistently refused every one of my requests. So, as part of the research for Windows 7 Inside Out, I did the work myself. I installed copies of each Windows 7 edition from the Release Candidate (build 7100) code on a single machine, resulting in a five-way multiboot system. Then I tallied up which features were in each edition, trying out each one to see if I could identify unexpected behavior.

FTP/net & FTPServer/net (Controls) 12 MAR 02
Ftp/NET fully supports both the synchronous and asynchronous programming models as designed by Microsoft. Each method such as GetFile or BeginGetFile contains a number of useful overloads that provide flexibility and functionality found in no other FTP component. The synchronous model can be used where it is not a problem to block the thread that is invoking the method. The asynchronous model, which was designed to be 100% compatible with the .Net framework's model, can be used where it is not desirable to have a thread blocked for the duration of a method's execution.
Ftp/NET also provides a number of useful events that are fired during both synchronous and asynchronous method execution. The Progress event is fired periodically as files are sent and received. A DirectoryItem event is fired as directory listings are returned, enabling you to update UI elements as data arrives. And the StateChanged event can be used to track the state of method invocation and provide status information to your users.
Ftp/NET includes everything required of a modern FTP client component including the ability to restart interrupted transfers, firewall and proxy traversal support, and easy-to-use methods for sending custom commands and receiving the server's responses.
Unique in the industry, Mabry's Ftp/NET also includes FtpWebRequest, FtpWebResponse, and TFtp objects. FtpWebRequest and FtpWebResponse are subclasses of WebRequest and WebResponse, respectively, and provide easy integration with the .Net framework's HTTP request design.
As always, Mabry Software pushes the boundaries of what is required in components. The TFtp class provided by Ftp/NET continues that tradition by including, among other things, complete support for the latest TFtp-related RFC's, a feature not found in other TFtp components. And, like the Ftp class, both the synchronous and asynchronous programming models are fully implemented in the TFtp class.
When you buy Ftp/NET you get a complete set of FTP components designed especially for the .Net framework. Compare Ftp/NET with the offerings of other vendors and you will see that Mabry's Ftp/NET is the best FTP solution available.
Mabry Software has been designing, writing, and supporting Internet components for almost a decade. We have used this extensive experience to design our new Ftp/NET™ from the ground up and to take advantage of the exciting features of Microsoft's .NET platform.

For instance...
This template was originally written to solve a problem faced by the illustrious President of the SCUG, John Thorley. His problem arose when he needed to place 18 text controls on a Form procedure and he needed a way to let users know how much of each text box had been filled. The first solution was a template which created a progess bar beside each text control!
Now, the challenge! How to improve it? Can options be added to reposition the progress bar? What about alternate colors? Can it be made into a class?

One main benefit of Windows programming is being able to have multiple applications open at once. The problem with this is that if you have ten programs active at once, you have ten programs cluttering up your task bar, and ten icons to Alt-Tab through to land on your desired application. So - the system tray to the rescue!

A free set is at http://www.glyfx.com/products/free.html. These are quite nice.
For years, software developers have had to put up with the same set of toolbar glyphs and icons: widely available - boring and unoriginal! We understand that many software companies cannot afford or cannot justify hiring a graphic artist to create high quality toolbar images, splash screens and other interface elements. New versions of operating systems - Microsoft Windows XP, Mac OSX, and Gnome and KDE desktops on Linux - are setting a new standard for the look and feel of the application interface. We're determined to provide developers with an affordable way to achieve this new look!

Hand Coding Reports in Clarion (Tips) 24 MAY 05
We all love the speed and relative ease with which Clarion allows you to build a report. However, sometimes the standard Clarion report templates don't give you quite the functionality that you'd like. In this example, Ross demonstrates how easy it is to build reports from 100% hand code. This example also demonstrates how reports are outputted in Clarion (.WMF files) and how you can capture these for your own use! Included is a .CLW file and a .PRJ project file.

Handling Nullable Fields in an ABC Application (Clarion Magazine) 17 SEP 04
It's no secret that Clarion doesn't handle nullable fields very well. In keeping with the ideal of simplicity, Clarion considers the value of a Null string to be blank, and a Null number to be zero. And in most cases, this is fine, and can make your code easier to use and maintain. But there are occasions when you have a Nullable field that really needs to be Null.

HijackThis (Utilities) 1 JUN 06
HijackThis is a program used by experienced users in order to detect browser hijackers. It allows you to identify any sort of spyware and malware (as well as some trojan horses and worms). This is achieved by scanning special zones of the registry as well as the hard disk drive, the results being listed in a structured window. Another feature of HijackThis is the creation of a log file, which can be saved as a simple text file and opened by any text editor (notepad as default). Until now, inexperienced users, who could not analyze the log file by themselves, had no other choice than posting it in a specialized forum and to hope that a more experienced user takes some time to analyze it. The script presented on this page is a way to analyze your log without help from the outside: simply copy/paste the content of the log file in the textbox below and hit the analyze button. HijackThis is free and does not need to be installed.

You can set a CPU % hog limit, the number of cycles and the refresh rate for each cycle that the condition should met before the task is automatically terminated. This allows you to monitor hanged or bad terminated programs that remains in memory and hogs CPU resources. In addition, you can manually kill a process just like in Window’s task list.
TaskControl Pro
You can define which processes to monitor by its name.
For each particular process, you can define a CPU % limit or a CPU time used limit, and a number of cycles that condition should met in average.
You can also define an executable that should be launched after the program is terminated (therefore, you can unattended restart the terminated program).
All operations and errors are logged to a special file, so you can later inspect what happened in your absence.
With this version, it is impossible to terminate the wrong program by accident.

Hyper Browze by Enabling Simplicity (Templates & Libraries) 27 APR 10
HyperBrowZe™ introduces a new paradigm for the presentation and management of hierarchical data in a relational database.
A HyperBrowZe procedure has some of the properties of a relational tree browse, such as our popular product UltraTree™. However, with HyperBrowZe, when you click the familiar tree "expand" icon, you see the child records displayed in a completely different browse instead of being indented in the same browse.
All browses are in the same procedure. Each browse is a standard Clarion ABC browse, extended by addition of the ability to explore the database in a way that is natural to anyone familial with the the relational tree paradigm.
Simple navigation is provided for jumping back to any higher level from any depth.
HyperBrowze (Templates & Libraries) 15 JAN 08
Looking for something dramatically new? The most unique addition to your tool set this or any other year is here.
HyperBrowZe™ introduces a new paradigm for the presentation and management of hierarchical data in a relational database.
A HyperBrowZe procedure has some of the properties of a relational tree browse, such as our popular product UltraTree™. However, HyperBrowZe takes a totally new approach. With HyperBrowZe, each level of the database hierarchy is presented as a completely different browse. All browses are in the same procedure. Each browse is based on the standard Clarion ABC browse. HyperBrowZe provides the overall framework. Advantages of using standard browses include:
HyperBrowze now supports Clarion 5.5, 6.0, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.0

IBM Lets Loose Viper Hybrid Database (Tips) 12 JUN 06
IBM said the world's first major hybrid database system, DB2 9, also known as Viper, will ship July 28 and will be able to handle the major form of unstructured enterprise data, XML documents, as well as structured data in traditional relational tables. The Oracle database system and Micrsoft SQL Server also handle XML data but IBM says DB2 9 is different. It will be the industry's first major system to allow seamless function between relational and XML-heirarchical data handling. With Viper, developers should be able to produce applications that direct DB2 to store and retrieve data without indicating whether it is structured or unstructured, said Bernie Spang, IBM's director of data servers. "It's a significant time and cost savings for developers," he asserted.

Then you need to take a look at our Icetips Magic Buttons and Icetips
Magic Entries. These two products add visual effects to your
applications so they look cool and you can get some of the XP look and
feel on other operating systems.
Do you feel that your Clarion applications look a bit old and tired?
Maybe not as good as some of the cool stuff written in other

Any application can get the XP look and feel without expensive and complicated tools. But the way Microsoft designed the XP Themes, there are certain limits to what can be done. For examply any non standard buttons will not get the XP look.
Icetips Professional Wizards (Templates & Libraries) 3 JUN 04
The Icetips Wizards are a combination of two types of software:
1. A Wizard Editor software.
The Wizard Editor software allows the developer to create multiple
schemes with information about various attributes for common controls
and structures in the application. For example icons on buttons,
fonts on appframe, browse and form windows as well as fonts on header,
footer and detail bands on reports.
The Wizard templates ask the developer what scheme to use and then
apply the attributes from that scheme to the application or procedure
the Wizard is generating. Further the Browse and Report Wizards also
allow the developer to specify what fields to populate in the browse
listbox or the report detail respectively.
This setup considerably reduces the time to design the windows and
reports.
The Icetips Professional Wizards are designed to help Clarion
developers create attractive applications and save precious
development time.
2. Wizard Templates that generate Clarion 5.5 ABC code.
Icetips Professional Wizards (Templates & Libraries) 4 MAR 03
The Professional Wizards also have the unique possibility for you to add extension templates to your application or procedures. This is done in the Wizard Editor, with the Icetips Template Registry, where you register your templates and then populate them to the various locations in your app, global, frame, browse, etc., etc... You can register any templates there and use any extension templates that you have registered, including your own templates!
The Icetips Professional Wizards are a set of templates and software that make creating applications, browses, forms and reports both easier and faster.
Icetips Report Checkbox Fixer (Templates & Libraries) 18 DEC 04
Have you ever needed to print reports with checkboxes on them? We
have and so have other developers. The problem is that the lines in
these checkboxes are so thin that they don't show up when the reports
are faxed. This is a problem! So to solve our problem, and our
customers, we created this little product.
Icetips Report Previewer build 2.7.349 (Templates & Libraries) 2 JUL 10
Provides full support to both CPCS and Fomin Report Builder reports for the
Clarion 6.0/6.1 target templates as implemented by those products.
Now you can get a previewer with a lot of functionality and then add
what you need, modify it to look like the rest of your program,
translate, whatever. Best of all, you can have multiple previewers in
your application and call them conditionally or use different
previewers for different type of reports etc. etc.
Icetips Reporter 5 NOV 01
The Icetips Reporter is a tool to make creating Clarion reports a fairly easy and painless task (or as pain-free as possible!). With the Icetips Reporter, you'll eliminate the time-eating repetitive tasks involved in developing reports, so that your time can be spent working on the more difficult bits.

Over 50 brand new classes & templates, with over 300 methods in the classes -- these utilities handle all kinds of things in Clarion that you have either cursed about or wished for. The Icetips Utilities started, as so many other products, because we needed to do the same thing over and over again. We began with code to control progress bars - and so the Progress Class was the first in our tool collection. Now it is one of many in the Icetips Utilities.
Icetips Window Fixer (Templates & Libraries) 11 FEB 10
The Icetips Window Fixer makes sure that the window's X and Y positions are correct so that the window always opens where the user can see it!

Image Magick 6 JAN 01
Here are just a few examples of what ImageMagick can do:
ImageMagick is known to compile and run on virtually any Unix. system and Linux. It also runs under Windows
2000, Windows 95/98, Macintosh, VMS, and OS2. See the install guide for compiling instructions.
Pre-compiled binaries are available for some of the more popular operating systems. The entire source and
binary distribution is also available for a limited time on CD.
ImageMagick is copyrighted by ImageMagick Studio, a nonprofit organization. ImageMagick is available for free,
may be used to support both open and proprietary applications, and may be redistributed without fee.
ImageMagickTM is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read, write, and manipulate an image in many
image formats (over 68 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, Photo CD, and
GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications. You can
also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your completed work in
the same or differing image format. Image processing operations are available from the command line, as well
as through C, C++, and PERL-based programming interfaces.
You can access ImageMagick functions directly from the command line using the ImageMagick tools convert,
mogrify, montage, combine, or identify. Use the display program to interactively manipulate your images or
animate an image sequence from a graphical panel. Finally you have access to the various image manipulation
methods directly from your favorite application development environment: Perl, C++, C, or Java. These programs
and much more are explained by following the links from this page or read the ImageMagick Users Guide.

Image Shrinker (Utilities) 11 JAN 03
Image Shrinker takes image files that can be HUGE and converts them to tiny easy to handle files which are suitable for emailing and printing on inkjet printers.
The program is designed to take any image file and convert it to the sort of file you might like to print using a normal printer, or display on your screen. Click here for more information about images.
My Digital camera by default saves images that take up about 1MB of disk space. Image Shrinker converts these to about 50Kb or less - and they are still suitable for viewing on screen, or high quality printing at about 1/2 an A4 size page.
Have you ever received an email that contained just one photograph, but took 20 minutes or more to download ? This program was designed to stop YOU being the cause of this sort of problem!
Image-XChange SDK (Templates & Libraries) 13 JAN 11
Image-XChange SDK allows developers to build in Raster format Imaging (and EMF/WMF to Raster) support for their applications and distribute Royalty Free our Library DLL's with their end user applications. Image-XChange is a comprehensive and expanding set of professional tools designed for use by software developers for the creation and manipulation of highly optimized Image format files. None of our products require any 3rd party DLL’s or tools installed to function once compiled within the Developer's final application.
Image-XChange v3 (Templates & Libraries) 14 JUN 05
Version 3 of Image-XChange is now available and a free upgrade for all existing users - including Clarion users 5.x thru Clarion 6.2x !
As with all of our developer kits we allow Royalty Free distribution of the 'Run Time' elements of the library with your end user applications - we also do not expect you to pay license fee's every time you incorporate the libarary into a new application, there are no limits on the number of applications you may use the library in.
Image-XChange Version 3 is our new set of tools to use in your standalone projects - or compliments our existing PDF-XChange, PDF-Tools and TIFF-XChange products for software developers.
ImageCFG.exe (Utilities) 28 APR 08
I was unable to find any documentation for this tool on Microsoft's website.
To use this tool to set affinity masks for an executable, type the following command in a command prompt window or run dialog: imagecfg -a 0x1 c:\path\to\file.exe
If the above didnt work, try typing the following:
Copy imagecfg.exe to %systemroot%\system32 (or C:\Windows\system32), and %systemroot%\system32\dllcache (or C:\Windows\system32\dllcache). Doing so will make imagecfg a system command.
This tool only works on NT based operating systems (Windows NT, 2000 Family, XP Family, 2003 Family, Vista).
It will work on Multiprocessor machines and Uniprocessor machines with HyperThreading Technology (and multicore processors).

ImageEX Ready for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
ImageEx consists of three main components:
ImageEx is a graphic library that has been designed especially for use with Clarion. For speed issues it has been written in Delphi, but there's another Clarion layer in between your app and the Delphi library, so you won't get in touch with the Delphi stuff directly. Some people might dislike using non-Clarion libraries, but I bet after running the demo and seeing the amazing speed of ImageEx (especially the viewer control) this won't be a problem for you. ImageEx still supports all possible link modes (local / standalone).

Implementing Encrypting File System (EFS) with SQL Server (Tips) 1 JAN 07
EFS should be of prime interest to any DBA looking to protect sensitive data files within SQL Server. After all, if an attacker can copy the unencrypted data files from a SQL Server, the attacker can then attach these files to his or her own SQL Server with very little issue. With EFS you can encrypt all of your data files in such a manner that only SQL Server has access to them, stopping any such nonsense.
Implementing Read-Only Checkboxes (Clarion Magazine) 5 JUL 01
Many Clarion developers have discovered that the READONLY attribute is not available for checkbox controls. Although you can use the DISABLE attribute, it is often desirable to use the READONLY attribute for the sake of consistency in the user interface. Jeff Slarve shows how it's done.

If you have used ISQL/W for MS SQL Server and wished that utility was available for all other databases, your
wish has been granted. This utility uses ODBC to connect to different databases. You can connect to multiple
data source at the same time. The editor is much better than ISQL/W as it highlight the SQL keyword as you
type. It also displays the database catalog information including table name, field name, stored procedures and
their parameters. Moreover, it uses a multi-threaded architecture for better performance. One big advantage of
this utility is that there is no installation. It is just one file that can be copied easily on to a floppy disk.

InBack v1.8 - now by Huenuleufu Development (Utilities) 5 NOV 08
Compiled in C7 so you can see what an undoctored C7 application looks like!
"In Back" is a high performance tool designed to help computer users safeguard their precious files during the
course of day-to-day work. Although many people do a daily backup of their files (at least they are supposed
to), it is quite possible for something to happen during the day which could ruin hours and hours worth of work.
Tragedies such as program crashes, human error, hardware failure, bad luck, and others can render your hard
work useless. Before "In Back" you would have had to restore from the last full backup in order to recover. "In
Back" provides the computer user with a way to save their more important files in a quick and easy way.

Info ZIP v1.0.1 (Templates & Libraries) 4 JUN 07
Info-ZIP code has been incorporated into a number of third-party products as well, both commercial and freeware. Some of the more interesting ones include the use of UnZip code in the unzip.dll distributed with IBM's OS/2 Warp BonusPak and WebExplorer, and as part of the reinstallation code for the IBM Aptivas preloaded with OS/2 Warp. Sun used Info-ZIP's self-extractor to distribute the NT version of their HotJava browser. Various Windows products such as WinZip and the DynaZIP DLLs incorporate Info-ZIP code, too. And let us not forget Pretty Good Privacy (PGP), an excellent encryption program that uses Info-ZIP code as a first step in encrypting files. Info-ZIP's primary compression engine has also been spun off into the free zlib compression library, used in Netscape Communicator and countless other products.
Info-ZIP's purpose is to provide free, portable, high-quality versions of the Zip and UnZip compressor-archiver utilities that are compatible with the DOS-based PKZIP by PKWARE, Inc.

Ingres for Windows (SQL) 7 OCT 04
Ingres r3 – An Evaluation by Bloor Research (SQL) 11 OCT 04
The latest release of Ingres (r3) represents a dramatic departure for CA, not so much in its new features (though these are significant), but in the fact that the company has migrated the product from a conventional, proprietary model to being an open source one. This has immediately propelled Ingres to a leadership position in the open source database market. It is clear that Ingres is by far and away the most sophisticated product in this market.

InterBase 14 JUN 00
Apparently a Free SQL engine.
Interbase Datapump (Version 3.4) (Free!) (Templates & Libraries) 8 NOV 02
You can generate SQL script to create Interbase/Firebird database based on your ADO/BDE/ODBC source. This tool will help you to migrate from Interbase 5.xx and older Interbase databases to the new Interbase 6.x/Firebird format. You can use it to pump data from one Interbase database to another. A “must have” utility for all Interbase/Firebird developers and administrators!
This is "One Hour Solution" - in most cases it takes even less than an hour to pump data to your Interbase database.
What Interbase DataPump can do which other similar tools can't?
Interbase DataPump allows you to pump data from any ADO/BDE/ODBC sources (such as dBase, Paradox, Access, MSSQL, Sybase, Oracle, DB2 etc) and native Interbase/Firebird databases into Interbase/Firebird databases easy, fast and painlessly with total control over the whole process.

Interfaces Everywhere (Clarion Magazine) 3 FEB 03
Some time ago Jim Kane created the OLETCL class to use COM objects with a VB-like syntax. OLETCL relied on a quirk in Clarion's COM and thread handling, but with Clarion 6's new threading model OLETCL will no longer work. That prompted Jim to finish a COM interface generator he'd started many years earlier.

This article demonstrates how Clarion interfaces and C++ abstract base classes can be freely interchanged between Clarion, TopSpeed C++ and Microsoft Visual C++. Not only does this provide a convenient conduit for mixed language development, it also allows objects to be shared across languages. In practice it is possible to build a very powerful C++ library by simply wrapping existing or third party code within a Clarion compatible interface. Part 1 of 2.

Internal Help - An Alternative To Commercial Help Systems (Clarion Magazine) 9 AUG 01

Introducing PostgreSQL (Part 1) (Clarion Magazine) 28 NOV 02
PostgreSQL, a long-time open source rival to the MySQL database, isn't particularly well known among Clarion developers. In part, that's because until recently the only way to run PostgreSQL on a Windows machine was by using the Cygwin Linux emulation. A beta of a native Windows version is now available, and that's prompted David Harms to begin this new series on PostgreSQL.

iocomp.com 5 APR 00
Hi, have been working with IOComp's Instrumentation suite... www.iocomp.com.
After a little fiddling I have been able to make their OCX's work well with
CW5.0. If anyone is in need for a vast quantity of switches, knobs,
sliders, gauges, led's and all other stuff check them out. They were VERY
HELPFUL and interested in my getting it running with Clarion. Sort of a
surprise compared to most ActiveX software houses. (Thanks to RJMiller)
Why struggle with static, bitmap-based gauges, switches, and other similar controls when you can enjoy the
flexibility and reliability of controls designed for the needs of automation programmers. Reliable, Real-Time, Real Fast!

IP.Tree (Utilities) 3 SEP 08
The idea is that from your Windows XP or Vista workstation or server, you
can plan and document as many networks or subnets as you want. For each
network, you can assign "ranges" where you will group devices by type (if
you don't want to organize your network like this, simply enter a single
range for all). Finally, inside each range, you will enter the IP and main
data of each device on the network. The system will warn you if some
devices use the same IP, or if different ranges overlap.
Then you can print your data, or export it to the most common formats, so
you can file your information for later use (like network maintenance).
IP.Tree is a simple way to plan and make your network accessable and
organized.

iQ-Notes v4.05 (Templates & Libraries) 20 DEC 10
Now with tabs!
It is much different than StickyNotes with a ton of enhancements. The most
significant enhancement is that it synchronizes with an FTP server. So, if
you have more than one computer ... the "Post-It" notes will stay in sync
between your computers. I use it all the time, so when I add a note at
work, it's available to me when I turn on my laptop at home. (using
synchronization is optional).
IQ-Sync v1.13 (Utilities) 17 DEC 09
In my (Robert Paresi) environment, I have test (Alpha) servers, Q/A (Beta) servers and Production servers. As I modify the application, I have to promote the EXE's, DLL's, Help files, control files, and other files into each of these environments for a round of testing. Sometimes the users are in these directories, and iQ-Sync notifies me if the objects are in-use. I can say "wait until they become available" and iQ-Sync goes to sleep, waits for the lock to come undone and then copies the files in. I can walk over to production, ask everyone to exit out ... wait 10 seconds ... and tell them to go back in.
This little utility also synchronizes my Free Agent Seagate backup device, makes it simple to make a backup before I go home each night. I also have a project which copies the changed files back as a Restore project if I have used my FreeAgent backup device at home and make programming changes. I have another project which also copies all my APP's and DCT's to the file server each night under a different day of the week.
Creating projects is easy at Home and at Work. I simply create one project which goes TO the device, and then I create a duplicate of the project that copies from the device, simply pressing "Swap Source/Destination".
I literally uses this program all day long ... allowing me to easily create different environments of files, and I even have projects setup that copies the final builds in to a SetupBuilder build directory. You'll see that it is very fast.
It's totally free for anyone to use ... and I hope you find it as useful as I do. I decided to call it "iQ-Sync".
This is a little utility which simply copies and synchronize files. Simply setup an unlimited number of copy projects, and then when you need to execute it, highlight the project and press Run.
iQ-XML v2.70 Available for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
iQ-XML comes with both Parser and Writer functions. Quickly generate an XML document from a Clarion Queue, Group structure, or just using the API's.
A novice user can also read a complex XML document and fill a Clarion Queue. Navigate easily through-out the document, finding nodes and parsing only what you need.
For users who feel comfortable with Templates, there are also templates options available for all the API's. Both PDF, Online HTML documentation, as well as example applications are also included.
iQ-XML is a free tool for Clarion developers to add XML functionality to their applications with very little knowledge. But, don't let the free price scare you. It offers many features not found in Clarion's own XML functions.

J-Blowfish v1.10 (Templates & Libraries) 23 APR 07
This is a free download (with permission from Plugware), all that we ask is that you submit any changes you make to this code back to us. If you would like to receive notification via email when new builds are released, please click here.
Lastly, we would love to hear from you, as it's rewarding to find out who is using your code and what they are doing with it. This information will not be given to anyone else, it is simply used to motivate ourselves. We accept donations and beer also
J-Blowfish is a Clarion wrapper (pure Clarion source, no black boxes) for the Blowfish encryption algorithm. Most of this code was written by Plugware - we have added a helper class, examples, templates, etc.
J-Cal Mini (Templates & Libraries) 16 SEP 10
This is a template which enhances Clarion's calendar lookup control. Clarion's control works fine, but doesn't offer much in terms of theming, customization, settings, etc. Or at least that was the case. Drop in J-Cal Mini, choose a theme, and recompile.
J-Cal v3.0 (Templates & Libraries) 12 SEP 08
Now in English, Afrikaans, Danish, Dutch, French, German and Italian.
Since Organize365 was released, StrategyOnline has been inundated with emails from Clarion developers asking how the calendar was built. J-Cal has been released as a commercial product due to this interest and demand from the community.
J-Cal was built when a high-quality calendar control was needed for Organize365. After testing every 3rdParty calendar tool available, we realized that if we wanted calendar controls that measured up to Outlook, we would have to build them ourselves. J-Cal took almost a year to build, but it was time well spent.
J-Calculator (Templates & Libraries) 16 SEP 10
It adds little calculator buttons next to your numeric input fields, which your users can click on to calculate the values in the field. You need to see the screenshot to appreciate this, take a look.
J-Depends (Templates & Libraries) 5 JUN 08
The beauty of J-Depends is that this happens behind the scenes. End-users never see Depends.EXE. J-Depends simply does its magic, and your end-users can then simply email you a text file which contains all the Depends.EXE information!
Microsoft Visual Studio includes a very useful utility called Depends.EXE, which scans EXEs and reports useful information on all dependent modules (DLLs, etc).
We've been using Depends.EXE for many years now, but only recently realized that it's actually a free tool, which can be downloaded by anyone, including our clients!
But, most of our end-users lack the technical expertise to use Depends.EXE. That's why we built J-Depends.
J-Depends is a Clarion template. Developers simply add it to their Clarion APPs and recompile. When end-users run these compiled APPs, J-Secure can automatically run Depends.EXE.
J-Fax v1.60 (JFax) (Available for C7) (Templates & Libraries) 12 SEP 07
We have built a Clarion DLL that wraps up all the functionality exposed by the Windows Fax Service COM objects provided with Windows 2000, XP and 2003. J-Fax consists not only of our DLL wrapper, but it also includes Clarion templates and classes, which greatly simplify the process of adding this functionality into your own software. You can now add faxing abilities into your own code in a matter of seconds!
J-Flow v2.51 (Templates & Libraries) 21 MAR 08
It's the best tool available for adding flow diagrams into Clarion applications. Want to draw a node? 1 line of code. Want to draw a link between 2 nodes? 1 line of code. Want to move or align a bunch of nodes? 1 line of code. It's completely event driven, meaning that you can very easily react when a user clicks on a node, drags something, etc.
Lassalle Technologies produce the best flow diagram control on the market, called "AddFlow". AddFlow is an OCX control written in C++. J-Flow is a template that enables you to use this control (very easily) in Clarion applications.
J-HTML v2.0 Available for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
J-HTML is built on top of the Microsoft WebBrowser control, which is included with all versions of Windows from Windows 98 right up to Windows Vista, so you can guarantee that your clients will be able to use J-HTML without having to install any additional components.
New Features 28 Apr 08:
J-HTML is a control which can be added to your Clarion APPs in order to easily display and edit HTML! That's right - ONE control that can do both!
See artical at http://www.strategyonline.co.za/2009/01/19/jhtml-advanced-features
J-Media 1.10 (Templates & Libraries) 26 NOV 07
Here's the scenario.. You're a Clarion developer and you need a control that can play media files. The control needs to be stable, it needs to support a wide range of video formats, and ideally it should be reasonably easy to implement.
J-Skype v3.0 (Templates & Libraries) 12 SEP 08
To send a Skype message to another user, simply code:
MySkype.SendChatMessage ('strategyonline', 'Hi Gary!')
That's right! It's a single line of code! To call a user simply code this:
MySkype.StartCall ('strategyonline')
Then simply call "MySkype.EndCall" when you're done!
You can call Skype from any procedure, across any thread! You can even have multiple Skype objects running simultaneously! We take care of all the complexities for you.
Inter-application communication.
Transfer incoming calls.
Multi-User chats.
J-Skype enables you to integrate Skype into your own Clarion applications. You can send messages to other Skype users, you can initiate and close Skype calls, and so forth!
J-Spell v2.0 (JSpell) Available for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
All you need to do is install J-Spell, add the "J-Spell Global Extension Template" to your Clarion APP, and then recompile. When your users run your EXE, they will then be able to press the F7 key at any time to check their spelling!
The great thing about J-Spell is that it DOES NOT use Microsoft Word as the underlying spelling engine! Instead, it uses an open-source spelling engine called aSpell, which is also used by the likes of Opera and UltraEdit. And the "Spell Checking" window that appears when your users press the F7 key is actually a Clarion window, which we wrote, so we (and you) can control how it behaves, looks, and feels.
J-Spell now includes options for Portuguese
and Portuguese (Brazilian) in the global extension template.
Most popular software (including almost everything written by Microsoft) supports the ability for the user to press F7 in order to check their spelling. J-Spell adds that exact functionality to your own Clarion applications!
J-Tooltips (Templates & Libraries) 16 SEP 10
We built this one a couple of years ago for our Organize365 product, and we receive frequent feedback from our customers about how useful they find the functionality which this product provides. Basically J-Tooltips transforms your existing tooltips into something a lot more useful. This one will add significant value to your APPs in under a minute.
J-Walk (Web Sites) 26 MAY 09
If you already own some of our products, simply figure out which ones you don't own (using the table at the bottom of this page), add up their discounted "J-Walk Prices", and that's what it'll cost you.
Firstly, we're (Strategy Online) basically offering a bulk discount. If you buy licenses for all of our Clarion tools, we effectively knock a third off the price!
J-Zip v1.10 (Templates & Libraries) 12 SEP 08
This is an accessory that Clarion developers can use to easily add ZIP / UNZIP functionality to their applications. Simply add the J-Zip global extension template to your APP, and then add easy-to-use "Zip" or "Unzip" code templates anywhere in your application, as shown here.
JA 'Objects Edition' 15 MAR 00

L3 Drivers 8 DEC 01
L3 Technologies offers a dBASE File Driver providing full native access to dBASE tables from Clarion applications, and a native Paradox File Driver. The Drivers are written using the TopSpeed File Driver Kit, ensuring complete compatibility with Clarion. Database access is achieved using the Borland Database Engine (BDE). This is the same engine that is used in the dBASE and Paradox Database systems, so full compatibility is ensured.
The Standard variants of the L3 Database Drivers are fully functional, entry-level drivers providing full native access to tables through the BDE.
The Professional variants of the L3 Database Drivers incorporate new technology which enables applications to dynamically create, open and access tables without defining the file structure at compile time. This enables developers to produce general-purpose applications that can operate on any dBASE or Paradox table.
Full support for Local SQL is provided through the use of the Prop:SQL file property. Support for Query By Example (QBE) is provided by a Prop:QBE property. In addition a special form of file declaration, is supported which allows the efficient use of SQL style cursors in applications.
Paradox and dBase drivers for Clarion.

Limit An App To A Single Instance: DDE Strikes Back (Clarion Magazine) 12 APR 05
In days of old, when programmers were bold and DDE was the ultimate tool, if one wished to limit one's application to a single instance, it was quite easy. But Microsoft has deprecated DDE, and has done its best to move programmers to other solutions. As a result, that old DDE instance-limiting code doesn't always work as expected. Unless you add a modern twist, as Steve Parker shows.

application using C55EE RC2, there were 7 or 8 place where the VIRTUAL
attribute needed to be added to a method ( KILL methods if I remember
correctly ) and I also got 3 or 4 messages about the _ABC???????_ compiler
directives appearing more than once but everything I have tried in the demo
has worked.
(Comments by Don Redd) Also make sure you downloaded the Locus51.exe NOT the 50/and patch.
(Comments by Don Redd) I just installed the Locus DEMO and the Template set. I must say, these
are some of the nicest templates I've ever seen, period. The RichEdit works
like a champ now. There is a new template that I personally love, the
"Explorer Panel" extension - for a Window procedure. This one, you gotta
see. These templates warrant everyone looking at. I encourage anyone that
uses them to do as I did and email the author and thank him for his efforts.
(comments by Don Redd) There is an enhanced EIP template that uses: DropList, DropCombo, SpinBox,
etc. Locus Templates has it's own FileManager, that works right out of the
box, so to speak. There are too many *goodies* to list here. See for
yourself http://home5.inet.tele.dk/gandalf

Magic Locks by Icetips (Templates & Libraries) 22 AUG 07
The Magic Locks can lock down checkboxes, radio buttons, entry fields, buttons, text, RTF controls - any type of control that you want to lock. By default it locks everything if the form is called in ViewOnly mode. However, you can set it to Change mode and open up some fields that you may want the user to be able to enter data into, for example a text field with comments.
The Magic Locks consist of a set of Classes and templates that enhance the View Only forms to better indicate read-only controls. It also locks checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down controls, etc. which can not be set as read-only. This reduces confusion, as users can not make visual changes to the data.
The new Icetips Magic Locks make it easy to control what kind of access users have to view only forms. You can lock any type of control so it is completely inaccessible. You can also allow access to certain controls and allow the data to be saved.

MS SQL Server -- Are your indices effective? (Tips) 24 NOV 08
In this fast moving world, data is the heart and soul of any enterprise. As the data is growing very rapidly day by day, the biggest challenge which enterprises face today is to store the data in such a way that it can be retrieved quickly whenever required. The most common thought which comes in the mind of database administrators who basically works on performance improvement is to add indexes for tables to improve the data retrieval. However adding too many indexes on a table can sometimes reduce the performance of the table considerably. So it is very important for the database administrator to know whether the indexes created on the tables are used effectively or not. If there are indexes created on a table and they are not used, then they should be drop, as having unwanted index will slow down Insert, Update or Delete operations on the underlying tables.

Multi-Threaded Browses and Forms (Templates & Libraries) 4 JAN 06
I’m a really a big fan of Clarion. It does almost everything I want to do in a simple and easy manner. Anything that it doesn’t do out of the box is usually possible with a little ingenuity and a little template or class. For quite some time now I’ve been coveting a feature often found in other programs (most notably Microsoft Outlook). When you are looking at a list of items, be it contacts, messages, notes, etc., you can open it just like you might double-click on an item in a Clarion browse. The corresponding form appears, as expected.
The difference, however, is that Outlook’s update form is independent of its list of items. While the form is still open, you can return to the list to select another item for update, or whatever else you desire. Once you finish with the form, the instigating list is updated (assuming that it is still open itself). You’ll also notice that each update window is represented as a different program in your task bar.

Recently I wrote an application that had to use foreign

not use the Windows std currency pictures (and trying to convert them
from an API call would be a nightmare) - So I decided to just create a
table with the currency names and pictures. It works well so I am
posting the table on here if anyone else needs it.

NoteTab Light 9 MAR 01
PAD is the next generation dataset that will allow Authors to
communicate specific and most often requested information regarding
their products to the Online Communities and Vendors abroad. PAD was
designed with the future in mind.
PADGen - is the freeware tool used to create PAD files and was developed
by the Association of Shareware Professionals.
If you have ever struggled as a software author trying to upload your
program information to file download sites, you'll appreciate the
difference PAD file convenience is making in the industry. There are at
least 20 file download sites that accept the PAD format (most of these
are listed in the current Search Engine Profile Exchange).
NoteTab is a programmable text editor and its functionality can be
extended through small add-on files called Clipbook libraries. The PAD
library featured on this page does just that. It extends the
functionality of NoteTab, turning it into a flexible PAD viewer and
output generator. This PAD add-on is a template-based system, so you
have complete control on creating and viewing PAD data in any format you
wish. It contains several ready-made templates that let you view the
contents of PAD files in a matter of seconds. This PAD library works in
all versions of NoteTab 4.8 and higher, including the freeware NoteTab
Light.
What caught my (David Troxell) eye was the support for PAD files with it's add-on files
called Clipbook libraries.

Oberon Type Library Tools 11 JUN 01
Its easy to use and the resulting Html page generated is far easier to
navigate than ObjectBrowser or OLEViewer..imo. I havent tried the help files

from one Version to the next.

someone who is into OLE/OCX.

PC CILLIN (Trend Micro's virus scan software) (Tips) 8 NOV 04
Research by Bill Roe
As you may or may not know, vuFileTools uses vuFT2.dll that was reported to
be a virus by PC CILLIN (Trend Micro's virus scan software). No other virus
scan software (Nortons, etc) saw this dll as a problem. After attempting to
work with Trend Micro to resolve this issue (to no avail), I set out to find
the problem myself. After numerous edits and recompiles, I discovered that
any common call to GetCurrentProcess() (a standard Windows function that has
been around since Win32 days) causes the calling program to be interpreted
by Trend Micro as a virus.
PC Week Review of C5 25 MAY 99
PCBugReporter.com (Utilities) 12 OCT 10
The other half of the program is PCBugTracker.com which will download all the bug reports for your software or website. This is a essentially a tool to recieve the bug reports and then import into your own bug tracking system, but if you dont have your own bug tracking system, there will be facilities to use it as a fully fledged bug tracking system in its own right.
The only cost to use this software is a charge of 1pence per bug report when it goes Gold (at the moment this is the 1st Alpha). Its a pay as you go model. The first 100 bug reports will be free so you can test it out and see if its of any use to you. Likewise by also adopting this PAYG model I dont have to support multiple versions of the software, as there should be no reason why everyone cant use the latest and greatest version.
So I (Richard Rose) designed and built PCBugReporter.com. Its free to download and use to send reports for any software running on Windows 2000 or newer versions, and any websites you might view from the machine as well.

Phil Will's fix for the bug in the DATE function 15 OCT 99
The fix suggests renaming the DATE function in the Builtins.clw file
and using an alternative function for which source code is provided.
Thanks, Phil, for this free fix. There has been some discussion about a bug in the Clarion DATE function
that causes it to returning March 1 in leap years where it should
return Feb 29. This occurs when adding months, i.e. DATE(2 + 12....
Or days. Alexey has report that this will be fixed in the next release
of Clarion. In the meantime, I've posted a free open source (use at
your risk) fix at www.prodomus.com/pddt.htm.

it does, how to do it and just what is a memory leak anyway, this PDF
explains this and much more.

PrintKey is an excellent add-on. It is activated when you press the PrintScreen Key and allows you to capture the entire screen or any portion of it. You can then make changes to the screen capture and save in a variety of formats including .gif, .bmp, .jpeg, .jpg, .emf and .wmf.

You can customize the aspect of the printed controls to mimic the full window, or to use a image as background (like when you fill a Form), for example, not drawing the entries or group boxes, etc.
When you take a "screenshot" to print, you get exactly what you see, but PrintWindow gives you several advantages:
Just drop a button control in your window and obtain a printout that looks exactly alike. You use your own report with customized parameters, what means you can choose your previewer (or none), and how many "tabs" per page (only one or as much as they fit).

Process Explorer (Utilities) 26 DEC 07
The Process Explorer display consists of two sub-windows. The top window always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information displayed in the bottom window depends on the mode that Process Explorer is in: if it is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if Process Explorer is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded. Process Explorer also has a powerful search capability that will quickly show you which processes have particular handles opened or DLLs loaded.
The unique capabilities of Process Explorer make it useful for tracking down DLL-version problems or handle leaks, and provide insight into the way Windows and applications work.
Process Explorer works on Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Server 2003, and 64-bit versions of Windows for x64 and IA64 processors, and Windows Vista.
Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded.
ProCodeBlock (Templates & Libraries) 21 APR 09
Most "home grown" solutions that developers usually use involve a technique
of setting a flag ( ISDemo = TRUE ) and then conditionally branching away
from a procedure if that condition is met.
Hackers exploit that by either bypassing the checkpoint and jumping
directly to the target procedure, or by hacking the code and setting the
condition so that the block is disabled.
Even a product like Armadillo does occasionally get hacked (but not often),
so your program security is sort of a moving target.
In our case, the inspiration for ProCodeBlock came with our decision to
release a FREE version of EZChangeLog. Since we knew that the product
would be distributed worldwide and be "out there" as far as being a hacker
target, we wanted a 100% Hacker-Proof way to protect it.
When you block a procedure with ProCodeBlock, the entire procedure code is
removed at compile time and only the code needed to take the CodeBlock
actions (such as displaying a message, help topic and/or launching a
website URL) is written into place by the templates.
This means that no matter how good a hacker is, he can't jump to code that
is NOT in the program!
While ProCodeBlock does have some blocking features that are passive (such
as those needed to block EIP), most of the features such as the "CodeBlock
this Procedure" actually surgically remove code from your application when
it is compiled.

The book assumes no prior skill levels as there is something in here for everyone. From the beginning, what is OOP (including precise and usable definitions of all the OOP buzzwords), to why one would need to code objects, to how ABC works, to converting a procedural style procedure that every Clarion developer already has on their machine, to coding a template wrapper for that new object.
The book is accompanied by a code section in all editions. All code referenced in the book is included. Plus some extra goodies not referenced in the book.
Programming Objects in Clarion is version neutral. If you use Clarion 4 through Clarion 6, this book is for you.

Prophecy GNU Experiment in Interface Design 19 NOV 99
Prophecy is written in Clarion for Windows. It's inspiration comes from the alternative shells and desktops that have appeared for the 32 bit Windows environment. The original design concept for Prophecy was a Desktop that would help organise daily tasks in terms of projects and activities, but was flexible enough to not get in the way of the work at hand. It also would be modular, in that anyone would be able to create an active desktop module that Prophecy would be able to integrate into it's routine functions easily.

Putting Clarion 6 Under Version Control With TortoiseSVN (Clarion Magazine) 8 JUN 05
You might be using version control software for your own source code, but you should probably be using it for Clarion releases as well. As David Harms shows, this is easy to achieve with TortoiseSVN, Subversion, and a local repository.
Putting images on an RTF control 26 APR 01
You can do it your self with the api. You get the hwnd for the rtf control
and call sendmessage() to send it a em_getoleinterface message. It returns an
IRichEditOLE. Once you have the interface after some prepatory work (sample
code in MSDN in article Q220844) you call the GetClientSite method to pass an
image (bitmap in my case) to the RTF control for display. When the window is
shutting down, a little more code to release all interfaces.

Queue Record Structures (Clarion Magazine) 2 JUL 10
When you have large applications, especially applications with lots of DLLs, it can take quite a bit of time for the program to load and for the frame screen to appear. Users don't like long periods with no response, so this effect is not ideal. As Bruce Johnson explains, there are ways to speed up application load time, but often the best solution is a splash screen.

However, SQL Server 2005 implements Common Table Expressions and recursion in a way that is much easier to code and incorporates some safeguards. New author SQL Server MVP Frederic Brouard has written a fantastic article looking at resursive queries.

ResEdit 15 MAY 01
ResEdit is an resource file compiler and editor for Visual Basic developers. You use it to create new resource files with the usual bitmap, icon, cursor, and string
types. It can edit existing resource files and also supports user-defined binary files as well as audio (WAV) and
video (AVI). The program's front-end is excellent. It allows multiple open resource files and features full
drag-and-drop support --handy for swapping resource components. You can also use it to open and edit RES
files created by other applications. If a resource contains unsupported types, ResEdit will not damage them in
any way. Although some VB programmers might not see a need for this type of system, it really can be useful
as a way to create and juggle resource templates safely outside of the development environment. It displays
every supported file type automatically as you browse through your directories. In fact, if you're a "call it from
the properties window" type of programmer, this product might encourage you to start compiling your resources
by making it easier to do. This well-documented program is fully functional and can be evaluated for 30 days.

RHeader by Sterling Data *Free* Ready for C6.1 (Templates & Libraries) 31 JUL 04
The utility was written by Bill Rollins of Total Control
Software and is based on the DOS utility from the
Sterling Data software library (READHDR.ZIP)
RHeader is a freeware Windows utility to read the
header record of a Clarion DAT file. This is essential
info when trying to recover data from a damaged file.
It will also display Record information on the DAT fields.
RichReport available for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 10 JUN 10
It's a small class with surrounding templates that
allow you to print RTF text in standard Clarion reports! Instead of spending
several hundred dollars for a 3rd party text processor or report generator
you can now RTF-enable your reports with 100% pure Clarion code.
In addition to that, you can do that without writing a single line of code.
Simply put a control template onto your report and tell it where to get the
text from (can be a database column or a RTF file).

Rieben's Systems 9Update 28 Dec 2000) (Templates & Libraries) 26 JUN 03
The template automatically picks the fields from the listbox and
automatically creates the sort orders.
The default allows the user to ShiftMouseLeft on the Listbox column header
to sort. During the sort process, the currently selected record is retained.
This template currently does not allow any other custom sort orders other
than those created by the template itself. Also it is not advised to use
this template on listboxes with more than 15 000 records.
Now it is possible to grant that request using the new RABSORT template from
Riebens Systems. Just drop the extention template into the procedure and
tell it which listbox you want to allow sorting on. (Multi usage per
procedure)
RInstaler (Install Programs) 19 MAY 04
RInstaler is a Clarion for Windows Template that allows a developer to

Full source code will be supplied to Developers so that they don't have a
blackbox; doing their protection for them. This allows the developers to
change their serial number and unlock code generation as they see fit.
The unlock application also keeps track of all unlock codes that have been
generated.
RMChart Free Charting DLL (Templates & Libraries) 16 JUN 06
Depending on which compiler/development system you prefer, you may either use the DLL-Version (see RMChart.dll) or the ActiveX-Version (see RMChartX.ocx) of RMChart. The features and the resulting charts (visit the Gallery) are in both cases identical.
RMChart comes with RMCDesigner. This is a tool, which helps you to create a chart with all aspects entirely without coding, just point and click and see immediately the resultant chart. The source code of the chart you've created in the designer is only a mouse click away - just paste it in your editor and run the code. In the current release of the Designer source code generation for BCX, C#.NET, PowerBASIC, VB.NET, VB6 (ActiveX) and VB6 (DLL) is supported.
RMChart is a simple to use and really lightweight developer tool to create a various range of modern looking business charts - and it's freeware.

Robert Paresi's XML Reader/Writer for Clarion (Templates & Libraries) 9 APR 05 While there are other classes and support for processing XML documents in

comes with an example application and documentation.
You can find it as www.par2.com downloads section, thanks to
I've created an XML Parser/Writer function library to use with Clarion 6.1 -
since it is a function library, you can easily attach it to Legacy and ABC
applications. This function library is completely free. It comes with
many functions to Load XML documents in to a Clarion Queue as well as write
an XML document from a Clarion queue.
Robert Stanic Clarion Corner 2 FEB 01
Roel & Karin - Clarion Downloads (Templates & Libraries) 21 DEC 07
OSShield and DriveInfo template - Freeware
These two templates wrap the API's needed to get drive information such as drive label, free space, used space and total space, FAT type, serial, drive type, aswell as the API's needed to fetch the operating system version, its build number and the service packs installed. Additionaly OSShield allows you to block your application for specific operating systems or from running under Citrix or Terminal Services. A C6 example is included in the setup. (Templates can also be used in lower Clarion versions)
Clarion TXA and TXD scanner - Freeware
The Clarion TXA and TXD Scanner was designed to give a visual presentation of your sourcecode and data dictionary without the need to load the data into into Clarion. Procedure information, templates, variables, used files, images and icons , global templates and data are all displayed when a TXA is scanned. Table information, relations, fields and keys are displayed when a TXD is scanned. Unused tables are marked when both the TXA and TXD are scanned.
Besides displaying this information on your screen you can copy fields and tables from the scanner into your Clarion dictionary. Also you can create program and dictionary documentation in HTML. The HTML colors are configurable aswell as the specific data you wish to export. If you have the Microsoft CHM compiler installed then AppScanner can also generate a project for your CHM compiler and compile the HTML files to CHM giving you easy to distribute database and program layouts.
EasyTwain template - Freeware
This library implements the scanning functions in EZTwain classic.
DebugView template - Freeware
This template implements debugview and has some default options such as sending global variables values to the debugger aswell as local and a few more options.
ProcessorBinder template - Freeware
The ProcessorBinder template fixes problems with Clarion applications (compiled with the old Clarion RTL system) on multi-cpu systems. ProcessorBinder checks if your app was generated in a Clarion version smaller than 6 and if your program is running on a multi-cpu system. If so then the process and its threads are locked on the first cpu instead of divided over all cpu's.
Oracle Bulk Load Script template - Freeware
The BulkLoad script template allows you to create bulk load scripts for every table in your procedure. These scripts can be imported into existing Oracle tables. Normal SQL scripts (INSERT INTO etc..) cost a lot of time to import because Oracle has to interpet each new insert, update the indexes after each insert, write the rollback data etc.. This is very time consuming. The bulk load option in Oracle lets you import special scripts (generated by this template for instance) that are written into a buffer. Then the entire buffer gets written to the database and after that the indexes are updated aswell as the rollback features. For instance a 10mb ascii SQL script with inserts took 1 to 2 hours where the same data in a bulk script took less then 2 minutes!
Oplocks and Read Caching fix - Freeware
This utility is for everyone experiencing database corruption using ISAM databases (such as Topspeed). When the database is centrally hosted say on a server the fix needs to be run on the server and on all workstations. The fix is started using a commandline parameter FIX. Default it shows an about window with informational links.
Roel S.F. Abspoel's template for multiprocessor systems (Templates & Libraries) 20 AUG 03
I made a template that does just this, it checks if the app is compiled < C6
and checks if the machine has multi-cpus. If so then the threads are binded
to the first processor.
Anyone who would like a copy, please reply to me (Roel, not Tom!).
On 6/8/03 there was a thread called C55 app and Citrix conserning Clarion
applications running on multi-cpu servers. Suggested solution was running
IMAGECFG to bind the process to one processor instead of allowing the OS to
devide the threads over the available CPU's.
Roll Your Own Accounts Receivable 9 APR 01
I am making this software (including all app, dct and source files)
available as Freeware as my my repayment for the help I have received from
others, on the newgroups over the years. I do not profess to be a Clarion
expert but I do hope others find these applications useful.
Steve Parker has kindly made it available for download on www.cwicweb.com.
Just look for "Roll Your Own Accounts Receivable".
Regards
P.S. Dictionary password is "ELI".
"Roll Your Own Accounts Receivable" is a multi-company Accounts Receivable
application. It is a "sample" application designed to assist new Clarion
for Windows developers. The aim of the application is to help the new
Clarion get up and going as quickly as possible. For those of us who
started with Clarion Professional Developer, I would compare it to the
"Video Shop" annotated example. That particular example taught me my basic
Clarion programming skills by providing a complete working business
application.

RSBackUp 27 FEB 01
1.Compression is excellent and uses the addZIP dll.
RSBackUpis designed to be used as a stand alone EXE. This has the advantage
that if disaster does strike, a user will still be able to do a restore,
even if they can't run your main App due to corrupted file(s).
2.RSBackUp will work out how many floppies are required and notify the user.
3.Any drive and path can be specified for backup - so large capacity drives such as ZIP drives could be used, or drives somewhere else on the network.
4.If a user tries to restore from a disk out of sequence (for example they insert disk 3 when disk 2 is required) RSBackUp will notify them accordingly and prompt for the correct disk #
5.During compression progress bar is displayed to show the progress, together with percent processed in total, for the diskette and also for the file.
6.User can specify which files will be restored

implemented as a LIB or DLL. This means that the developers can modify the
classes as needed.

RTFCreator (Utilities) 16 FEB 06
RTFCreator takes care of that by letting you create a RTF text and
display it as formatted RTF, RTF code and Clarion ready RTF code. By
Clarion ready RTF Code I mean that all the { have been doubled up to
{{ etc. and it is ready to be pasted into a clarion string variable.
The simple RTF editor that comes with it allows you to save and open
RTF files. Arnór Baldvinsson
RTFCreator was created out of need. Need to fill in RTF fields that
were for display purposes only. I got tired of creating the RTF in
WordPad then copy/paste and create the Clarion string out of it.
Besides the RTF created by WordPad always had extra verbage that I
didn't need and didn't want. Constructing simple RTF is a PITA and I
figured I should be able to do something about it;)

Shoot The Messenger (Utilities) 22 JUL 03
If you ever see legitimate pop-up warnings or announcements with the phrase "Messenger Service" in the title bar, you might have an application running in your system that relies upon the built-in Messenger Service for the delivery of its information. But every application we know of displays its own pop-up alert dialogs, and we're not aware of any programs that rely upon the Messenger Service. It's just a theoretical possibility. If it turns out that you do need to have the Messenger Service running, "Shoot The Messenger" will easily re-enable and start the service.
Download and run our small (22 kbyte) "ShootTheMessenger.exe" utility. It will display the current status of your system's Messenger Service. The button near the bottom of its window will allow you to set the service to whichever state — running or disabled — that you desire.
The first thing to understand is that the Windows Messenger Service is completely different from, and not in any way related to, "MSN Messenger", "Windows Messenger", or any other well-known instant messaging system. Therefore, disabling the Windows Messenger service will have no effect upon your use of any other instant messaging applications. They will continue to work without trouble.

This section demonstrates how to sign code by creating digital signatures and associating them with files using Microsoft Authenticode technology, a set of developer tools that can be downloaded from Authenticode for Internet Explorer 4.0 or Authenticode for Internet Explorer 5.0 . Creating a fully verifiable certificate might assume the existence of a complex hierarchy of certification authorities. A root certificate and a root private key are provided for testing purposes only. Independent software vendors (ISVs) must obtain a certificate from a certification authority (CA) that is trusted by default in Microsoft Windows. (For a list of trusted CAs see Microsoft Root Certificate Program Members .)

will be sent when the button is set. Then a utility template lets you import

application you have. The code generated shows in the white (editable)
portions of the sourcecode as if you had typed it in yourself, and can be
changed, deleted or enhanced as you see fit.

Smooth Scrolling Control (Controls) 11 OCT 06
What this means is that you can design your window as you normally would.
Including adding any images. You then simply add the scrolling control (a
Clarion region control acts as a placeholder) and size it to cover the area
in which you want the text to appear and scroll.
Fonts and text are added to the control with a few simple methods. It also
supports columns by defining tab stops and then adding tab delimited
strings. Each tab starts a new column.
You have control over the margins, spacing, speed, and direction of the
scrolling of the text. This version only supports vertical scrolling.
Future versions will support horizontal scrolling and scrolling images.
The most common use of the control is to create an about box that scrolls
the credits for the program.
The smooth scrolling control is designed to scroll text over any background
without flicker. It does this by taking a snapshot of the window under the
area in which it will display the text. To prevent flicker it draws the
text into an off-screen buffer and transfers the buffer to the display area.

Softvelocity Bug Tracking System 9 APR 01
It is in the hands of the developer to verify that a problem is really a bug
in the system. The NG's have served this purpose very well, and will
continue to be the best place to initially post a report of a problem. The
NG's offer immediate feedback, additional insight into possible causes, and
frequently workarounds or alternative methods that other developers offer.
When a problem has been identified as a bug and isolated to the best of your
ability, then post it to the bug reporting system. If we do a good job at
posting workarounds and coding solutions, then the bug system will become as
much a knowledgebase, as bug tracking database.
The bug reporting system serves two
purposes -- its the best method for us to test the code we are targeting for
generation from the ASP template project in a real-world setting. And it
will provide an efficient way for all of us to track verified bugs/fixes and
workarounds.

Unfortunately I was late completing it for DevCon, but thanks to Tony York, the conference organizer, this presentation did make it onto the post-conference CD. The video is the first in a series that cover Clarion 7 and Clarion.Net, and of course the new IDE. This first video is an overview -- I don’t go digging around in source code, and I don’t go into detailed demos of the IDE. But the slides cover the main features of the new IDE components.

SQL 2005 Service Manager (Utilities) 18 SEP 07
** Update August 2007 ** If you are running Windows Vista, there is a new version available specifically designed for Vista and UAC (User Account Control) requirements. This Vista version enables the tool to run without administrative privileges by using a helper windows service to perform actions that require administrative rights on behalf of the client. There is no new functionality in this version so existing users running Windows XP/2003 do not need to download this new version. Only Vista users require it. As new functionality is incorporated into the tool it will be added to both versions.
With the lack of an equivalent in SQL2005 for the SQL Server Service Manager that comes with SQL2000, I (Jasper Smith) decided to write one myself. It's behaviour should be familiar to you if you've used SQL2000. If you have suggestions or want to report a bug email smbugs or you can use the feedback mechanisms on the associated SQL 2005 Service Manager Codeplex site where the full source code is also available.

It easily handles multiple related open files (you "group" them and it
ensures they are backed up as a single "image"). We use it on both

Stealth Software 20 NOV 00
Most developers, regardless of what development tool they use, do not know how long they spend developing a given project. While they can take a guess at the time, the lack of automatic logging tools has made the process unreliable at best. Without knowing how long the development effort actually takes, developers and their companies can never be certain that their development processes are efficient or whether they are profitable or not.

Steve Rothkin's template (Templates & Libraries) 2 SEP 02
If a form calls another procedure that references the file from the
form (perhaps in a browse table), the sub-procedure may effectively
trash the record buffer for the form. ABC doesn't seem to do any kind
of save/restore of record buffers/file positions to make this kind of
call save. I wrote this template to address the problem globally for
an entire application. There is a single global extension that you add
to your application. Everything happens pretty much automatically --
there is little else you have to do. See the template for more
details. Note that while record contents/positions are preserved,
anything internal to the FileManager object states are not.
Stevens Creek Software 4 APR 01
To interface Clarion to the palm transparently, you will need to write a
conduit for hotsync (the palm's utility for re-syncronising the palm with
the desktop). I am currently doing a lot of palm development work using a
product called Satellite Forms. I and interfacing the Palm application to a
Clarion App running on the desktop via a hotsync conduit. Satellite Forms
provides an ActiveX control that Clarion can utilise to provide a conduit
for resyncing the palm apps database. The Clarion code is fairly trivial. (Owen Brunker)

Warning - After downloading this executable from the author at majorgeeks,

executable resided. I had previously scanned the file with Norton and found
no apparent viruses. It is interesting in that the files appear to be
deleted can not be seen by Windows explorer. However, they can be seen by
other file managers, ie the TopSpeed IDE. I'm wondering whether it has
somehow modified the NTFS attributes on the disk under W2K? Fortunately,
the test was a dummy and all files were already backed up.

SysAni Ready for C6.3 28 JAN 06
You'll most probably know the animations the system plays during long activities (for example copying large
files from the explorer). Didn't you already want to display such animations within your Clarion applications?
With SysAni you can do that and much more. In addition to those animations that the system offers you can
display your own AVI files!
SysDTP 23 JAN 02
There are a lot of calendar implementations for Clarion. Many free and several some commercial products are available; some are excellent, some are not. But what all of them are missing is the look and feel of "real" win32 calendars that are used through a broad variety of applications nowadays. Many of the most popular programs like the Windows Explorer or Outlook Express are using date and time pickers as well as do many standard applications that ship with windows. Why not use a calendar control that's already present on your user's system?
Sysinternals (Utilities) 24 OCT 08
Whether you’re an IT Pro or a developer, you’ll find Sysinternals utilities to help you manage, troubleshoot and diagnose your Windows systems and applications.
Sysinternals Freeware (Utilities) 22 FEB 03

SysList Ready for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
You'll know list views from the Microsoft Windows Explorer; it's the control the Explorer uses to display the
files - with large icon, small icon, list and report view. But these controls are also used in more and more
applications (Office, PcAnywhere, SQL Server, ...) and the list is strill growing! Now you can add this to your
Clarion applications in minutes! This is a small list of features offered by the SysList class and the surrounding
templates:
and more...
SYSPORT Network Stress Tester (Utilities) 16 MAY 08
The program simulates the operation of a ISAM database and allows and number of operations to be run from any workstation. The operations allow records to be added either as single records at selected intervals or as batches of a specified size at a specified interval; to read these records either as individual random records or the complete data set in order and to change /update the records in a random order.
Every time a record is read it is checked for consistency and any errors are logged to a local, memory based log, on the workstation and to a log file on the file server which can be viewed from the program.
When running this program care should be taken as it can place a considerable load on the network and file server if several work stations are running the program at the same time.
Normally every work station would be set up to run the Add Data test, the Random Update Test and the Random Read test at the same time, but with the cycle time set to be slightly different for each test on each workstation. Additionally one or two workstations would be set to run the Key Read test to constantly prove the state of the database.
Minor errors will be reported into the log files; major errors will cause the operation of all the work stations to fail. In a well behaved network they will be no errors.

System Tray Popup Windows (Clarion Magazine) 2 APR 04
Shortly after installing Outlook 2003 Jim Kane noticed small windows appearing in the tray area when a new email message came in. He found these very useful, so he set about creating the same kind of popup messages in Clarion.
SysTree Ready for C7.2 (Templates & Libraries) 7 JUN 10
Clarion's built-in listbox works fine for most cases. But take a closer look, it's quite obvious that this control is no longer state of the art. If you want to give your users the controls they know from many other applications (including the Windows Explorer, Outlook Express, ...), SysTree is what you need!
The main part of SysTree is a wrapper class for the tree-view common control. The wrapper is written in 100% pure Clarion code. It allows you to use tree-view controls, introduced by Microsoft with Windows 95, in your Clarion applications! This powerful class implements over 80 methods (17 of which are virtual event handlers), giving you full control over all the styles, settings and events without struggling in the depths of api programming.
The SysTree templates make the class easy to use. You can add a tree-view control to your application in less than a minute, without writing a single line of code (the items would still have to be added, of course - an empty control doesn't really attract users ;-)
There's even more: Included in SysTree is another control template called SysDirTree. As you might guess from the name, it's a tree-view control displaying file system folders! You can have your applications display an Explorer-like view of the local drives on your computer, using the system icons. Again, no hand written code is necessary. And since the SysDirTree class is derived from the SysTree class, all the above mentioned options are available for SysDirTree, too!
Give the real Windows "Look & Feel" to Clarion applications! - SysTree is the 9th product in our series of common control wrapper classes, taking you another step closer to that Windows look and feel.

Tackling Global Queues in Clarion 6 (Clarion Magazine) 17 DEC 04
Clarion 6 has introduced a new threading model which has definite benefits, but problems that were once easily solved with a global memory queue in earlier preemptive model cause problems in the new cooperative threading model. Many articles have been dedicated to this subject, but no general solution has appeared. Until now. John Seganakis introduces a queue management class that works smoothly with your existing embed code.
Tagkeys v2.0 (Utilities) 13 NOV 07
I use it extensively with Clarion (as well as a number of other programs)
and have decided to try my hand at shareware (well, in this case freeware).
Being new at this type of marketing, I thought I'd get my feet wet with what
is familiar to me...Clarion. So, I've created a special release that
incorporates a number of "Tagsets" specifically for use by Clarion
programmers.
I guess the easiest way to describe Tagkeys is that it works in some ways
like the "Populate Column" pop-up works in Clarion when you are inserting
code in an embed point. The "Populate Column" list appears and lets you
double click a variable from the list that then gets inserted into your
source code. Well, its just like that but different (one of my favorite
sayings).
You can insert commands, structures, code snippets, or just about anything
else you want with a simple click of the mouse.
(You can also automatically capture and store code snippets from websites
and emails with a single mouse click [well, the single mouse click will
capture the text, but you have to name it and give it a "tag" if you are
using tags])
If you love it, tell the world! (if you hate it, please send me a private
email). support at
Tagkeys is a program I (Bill Roe) have been working on (and using in one form or another)
for the past several years. It is a small data management utility that sits
on your desktop and allows you to insert text (either through a keyboard
"tag" or by clicking on a selection in the Tagkeys list) into any document,
form, or editor (including Clarion's editor (even with it being 16 bit)).

TAL barcode DLL (Templates & Libraries) 27 APR 05
TBSC Consulting (Utilities) 9 JUN 02
It is an easy to use practical solution which acts like a framework going beyond a "download manager", a "bookmark file" or other tools gathering page content from web sites.
You download and collect only the relevant facts / data you need.
It works together with many FREEWARE tools which are available on the market to complement the processing tasks. Example: You can choose any "image viewer" application you like and call it from within "MyNet - Anywhere!". Any external application called is working independently from "MyNet - Anywhere!" and in its own environment.
"MyNet - Anywhere!" makes also use of the existing File Management tools (integrated with the Operating System) or third party products to allow for a more structured data storage and information retrieval process.
The application is esp. suitable for educators, teachers, researchers etc. who need to retrieve comprehensive data from the Internet, then further process it and distribute their results in the form of "MyNet - on a Floppy" (smaller projects fit on one 1.44 MB floppy disk). The results can also be uploaded on a web site in the form of "MyNet - on a Floppy" (maybe protected by a password) for immediate download and further processing by anyone else in the world who needs the data and information extracted which is presented in a contextual manner. The built-in report writer makes this task even more appealing.
The Blue Software Company "MyNet - Anywhere!" is - together with its FREE companion "MyNet - on a Floppy" - the ideal tool for everyone who has to gather relevant facts (data, information, documents, images etc.) from any web site for further research, processing and true information retrieval in a structured manner.

In the simplest terms, a NULL value represents an unknown value. It’s unknown in the sense that the value is: missing from the system, may not be applicable in the current situation, or might be added later. NULL values are different than any other value and are sometimes hard to compare and handle.

The Accidental DBA's Guide To SQL Server Part 2: (Tips) 4 OCT 05
In newsletter #48, I discussed the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine based on SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3, or MSDE 2000 Release A. I explained that it is a reduced-function version of SQL Server 2000 and that folks like me (and maybe you) -- people in charge of a network that might not even use much in the way database servers -- need to know MSDE because so many modern essential network utilities need a database server, will not function without a database server. Things like Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), the neat new free patching tool, or Audit Collection Services (ACS), a soon-to-arrive tool that lets you centralize your computers' Security logs. Those two are cool and they're free, but without a database server, you ain't runnin' WSUS or ACS, and so we become what I've called "accidental database administrators."
The Accidental DBA: Everything You NEED To Know About MSDE (Tips) 4 OCT 05
I've never hankered to become an expert on databases, database structures, SQL, or SQL Server 2000, nor do I claim to be one now. But there are times that I have to run a database server and I'll bet I'm not the only admin who's ever been in that position. Nowadays it seems that every Windows server admin has to run a database server, even if we don't use traditional database-driven applications. I say that because more and more essential network utilities -- Microsoft's new Windows Server Update Services, for example -- simply cannot run without a database server. And as you know, database software can be expensive. Particularly Microsoft's database server, SQL Server 2000.

The Clarion / Palm Connection (Tips) 10 DEC 02
If so, you might not feel you have the time or inclination to learn a new OS
and development environment. Perhaps we can help. In addition to our many
years of Clarion development, we're also experienced in both Palm
application and HotSync conduit development. And we can make it happen
quickly - in as little as 2 to 4 weeks you can have a complete Palm
application ready (depending on complexity, naturally.)
We use Metrowerks CodeWarrior for Palm OS - a C/C++ development environment.
The result is a fast and lean Palm application with no runtime library
overhead or royalty charges. For HotSync conduit development we use Visual
Studio.
Feel free to contact us for a small demo, sample screenshots or other
information you might require.

The Perils of Partnership by Susan Pichotta (Tips) 1 FEB 06
Yesterday in the AISIP members forum, there was a post from a new member. He listed his programming experience, said that he was available to write a new software product (any product), and was looking for a partner -- someone to handle the marketing and sales.
I've seen this question asked before, and it is one I asked myself, many years ago. It usually goes like this: I'm a good programmer. I can write great software, but I can't sell it (and don't care to learn). So, why not partner up with someone who knows how to sell software, and then we'll both make money?
Ah, it sounds so simple. Why not, indeed?
It is not an impossible task, but there are some serious issues that need consideration. If you ignore these issues, chances are you will get burned, and badly. But if you are aware of the issues, and deal with them ahead of time, then maybe this would work for you.

There are some serious dangers with installing the file however; I think that Windows will refuse to boot if it can't find wow32.dll where it expects it. As I said, installing the file is tricky. Having a parallel installation will help in that you can boot from it and put any version of wow32.dll in its correct place inside the main installation.

Theft Recovery Online (Web Sites) 31 MAY 05
This system is designed to help you to track stolen computers.
The idea is pretty simple: You Create an account, Install the client on your computer and if your computer is ever stolen, you can come back to this web site, login and find the IP address where your computer is being used.
Of course for this to work the thief needs to connect the computer to the Internet after stealing the computer. If/When that happens the installed client will automatically connect to the TheftRecoveryOnline.com server and report its computer ID (set during registration).
Then, with the help of the ISP who owns the last known IP address and the proper authorities, you stand a much better chance of recovering your computer.

Tornado OCX v6.0 15 DEC 02
Tornado is an OCX which is used when creating CW programs which handle requests on a World Wide Web site. What kind of requests, you ask? The same type that you write any CW program for: collecting data, processing forms, displaying lists of information. It is a much faster alternative to the usual CGI or WIN-CGI types of programs that are used for these purposes, yet it does not incur the additional cost and overhead of a CWIC program.

TPS RegSettings (Utilities) 23 JUN 04
I have had TPS files running on an NT4 and W2k servers without any corruption for months and years with all sorts of windows operating systems and Peer to Peer setups. When corruption has occurred its always been hardware at fault. However be aware that it could be your code causing problems how ever much you would like to think its not.
If you are running a Peer to Peer network environment then always use a Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional machine as your "server" ie the one holding the data as this will enforce the reg settings where 98 and ME dont do such a good job. Ideally you would use W2k or XP Pro as workstation operating systems as these are Business Operating Systems and give you the stability you would expect. 10 is the maximum number of machines that can connect to each other in a Peer to Peer setup as well after that you will have to go to Server setup.
TPS RegSettings is a simple program that changes the reg settings on the MS Windows Servers NT4, 2000, 2003 (all versions) and workstations running MS Windows 95,98,98se,ME,NT4,2000,XP so that your clarion application will run with out any data corruption due to the incorrectly set Registry Settings. Data corruption can still occurr after using this program but then its likely to be a one or more network cards playing up or a dodgy network cable.

Trend Micro Internet Security (Utilities) 30 NOV 07
I (the reviewer called "Gilly") purchased Trend Micro's Internet Security 2007 from Newegg a little over a year ago. When I updated my subscription a couple of weeks ago, I was automatically upgraded to Internet Security 2008. I have had zero problems with IS 2007 over the past year and it has done an excellent job. My browsing habits are such that I rarely encounter viruses, but there was one occasion when 2007 caught the virus before it could install itself, and of course it does a great job of removing tracking cookies and the occasional spyware. The best thing about 2008 is that it uses less memory than 2007, which is impressive. I never noticed any slowdown at all when using 2007, but then I have a PC with 2GB of RAM and an Athlon 3700+. I won't go into detail on all of the features, but I like them all. Overall a very non-intrusive program that does what it is supposed to do without any fuss.

Tuning 32 bit windows for 4GB ram (Tips) 16 AUG 07
The 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT) feature, formerly called 4GT RAM Tuning, increases the virtual address space that is available to the application up to 3 GB, and reduces the amount available to the system to between 1 and 2 GB.
For applications that are memory-intensive, such as database management systems (DBMS), the use of a larger virtual address space can provide considerable performance and scalability benefits. However, the file cache, paged pool, and non-paged pool are smaller, which can adversely affect applications with heavy networking or I/O. Therefore, you might want to test your application under load, and examine the performance counters to determine whether your application benefits from the larger address space.
On 32-bit editions of Windows, applications have 4 gigabyte (GB) of virtual address space available. The virtual address space is divided so that 2 GB is available to the application and the other 2 GB is available only to the system.

A rootkit is a program that a hacker uses to mask intrusion and obtain administrator-level access to a computer or computer network. The intruder installs a rootkit on a computer using a user action or by exploiting a known vulnerability or cracking a password. The rootkit installs a backdoor giving the hacker a full control of the computer. It hides their files, registry keys, and process names, and network connections from your eyes.
Your antivirus could not detect such programs because they use compression and encryption of its files. The sample software is Hacker Defender rootkit.

Up & Up (Templates & Libraries) 5 MAR 05
When I say multilevel process tree, I mean when a process that processes one table uses another process that processes a related table, and each of these processes uses other processes, and so on. Seems like there is no end to the number of things you have to do to a relational database via a batch process.
You may be thinking, so what is the big deal? Can't you do all this with the standard Clarion process/report templates and related table extension templates?
For starters, with Up & Up every table is processed via its own dedicated process object. As if you had called a new process procedure from the TakeRecord method. Except you don't have to, the WindowManager calls the subprocess for you, automatically, without opening a new window.
All of the processes are configured in a single template. Configuring every process is essentially identical to configuring the master process. All processes have almost identical features. This makes a world of difference.
For years I have found the Clarion process template doesn't support the kinds of things I need. The only way you can use processes at every level with the standard templates is call a subprocess from the TakeRecord method of a process. This launches a whole new procedure with its own window. Opening and closing flashing windows is uncool. So, I have been handcoding a lot of things that should have been done with templates. Lots of wasted time.
Growing weary of this, I finally decided to create a tool to do process trees the way I believe is "the right way". For me at least. The result is Up & Up. Now, a multilevel process rarely takes me more than 15 minutes to complete. Up & UP makes it so easy, I keep kicking myself I didn't create this long ago. Since I need this almost every day, it is likely you do too. Which led me to decide to turn Up & Up into a full fledged product. So, here it is. After you use it a couple of times you will start seeing new uses for it, and wonder how you ever lived without it.
The concept of trees of cooperating processes doesn't seem to have a name. Lacking a descriptive name, I have christened it Up & Up. Some things just don't have descriptive names.
Up & Up presently requires Clarion 6.0 or Clarion 6.1. Clarion 5.5 support is under consideration.
Creating multilevel process trees is something I find I have to do frequently. If you don't know exacly what I mean, keep reading.

This article discusses how to use program the printer port. A larger manual which deals with such topics as driver circuits, optoisolators, control of DC and stepping motors, infrared and radio remote control, digital and analog multiplexing, D/A and A/D is avaialable. See http://www.access.digex.net/~pha
Abstract: A PC printer port is an inexpensive and yet powerful platform for implementing projects dealing with the control of real world peripherals. The printer port provides eight TTL outputs, five inputs and four bidirectional leads and it provides a very simple means to use the PC interrupt structure.

Using a traditional Queue structure by Allison Neal (Clarion Magazine) 27 JAN 03
Allison discusses the "traditional" Queue data structure, and show how it worked. Before I get started it is probably wise to mention that the Clarion Queue structure does not behave in the same manner as the traditional Queue structure that C/C++ programmers work with. Fundamentally if you talk about a Queue structure to a C/C++ programmer you’re talking about an entirely different animal, but without knowing more about the nuts and bolts of what’s going on under the hood of Clarion, it is impossible for me to comment on the implementation differences.

Using Icons in Clarion (Tips) 16 FEB 09
Modern icon files often contain more than one size of icon. This is a sensible strategy, because icons are meant to be small, and rather than using some algorithm to calculate what an icon should look like, it allows icon makers to actually include different icon designs for different sizes and color depths.

The Clarion KEYSTATE function returns the status of the "shift type" keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt), the lock keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock), and the Insert key (overwrite or insert). It might sound like KEYSTATE isn’t good for much more than displaying information on the status bar, but in fact this function is a great tool for detecting unusual keystroke combinations (including when the numeric keypad has been used), which you can use to implement hidden features in your applications.

Utility Spotlight RichCopy (Utilities) 20 MAR 09
RichCopy is a free utility that comes to us from Ken Tamaru of Microsoft. The tool was first developed in 2001 and has been updated regularly to keep pace with evolving needs. Trust me when I tell you, this is the answer to all your file copying needs. What you'll find most striking the first time you take RichCopy out for a spin is that it's a multithreaded copying tool. That means that rather than copying one file at a time in serial order, RichCopy can open multiple threads simultaneously, allowing many files to be copied in parallel and cutting the total time required to complete the operation several times over. You can also pause and resume file copy operations, so if you lose network connectivity at any point, you can just pick up where you left off.

Veronica's Short History Of The Windows Operating Systems (Part 2) (Clarion Magazine) 2 JUN 03
It is true that the Clarion environment tends to, or tries to, hide as much of Microsoft's OS as possible. This is good for beginners, but bad for the experienced programmer. Sooner or later beginners (if they don't become discouraged) gain a certain amount of experience and want more. In this series, Veronica Chapman surveys the history of the Windows operating system(s), and provides an introduction to Clarion's Windows API capabilities, including a nifty example app and an updated LIBMaker.

Vista & Security, Code Signing Cheap & Easy (Tips) 14 FEB 07
What is Code signing? Code signing is about verifying the origin of digital content and the fact that it hasn't changed since it was signed. When you buy a code signing certificate from a "trusted source", and use it to sign your code, then Vista (and XP) will show a message to the user that your code is from a trusted source. The idea is if you trust the source, then you can trust the application. Code signing technology basically creates a "digital signature" for your software, and is an important part of your security (and marketing) if your users download and install programs or active content.

Windows XP SP3 faq (Tips) 5 MAY 08
"It's time to say goodbye to an old friend. Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), due in the second quarter of 2008, will be the final XP service pack , according to Microsoft. It can't come a moment too soon: XP SP2 (see my review) shipped over three years ago at this writing, and the company has since shipped hundreds of hot-fixes for the OS, giving users a painful updating experience, with multiple reboots. XP SP3 will consolidate all of these fixes into a single package and, surprisingly, add a few new features, including some that--go figure--debuted first in XP's successor, Windows Vista. Here's what I know about Windows XP Service Pack 3." -- Paul Thurrott

Wine Development (Utilities) 6 JAN 03
Wine is an implementation of the Windows Win32 and Win16 APIs on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/NT/W2K/XP binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine works on most popular Intel Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.
Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available. Wine comes with complete sources, documentation and examples and is freely redistributable. (The licensing terms are the GNU Lesser General Public License.)

Wininet - Open Clarion 1 FEB 01
WinInet is a high-level interface to the TCP/IP-based HTTP, FTP, and Gopher Internet protocols. WinInet gives
you the ability to add HTTP, FTP, or Gopher functionality to your application without having to understand or
keep up with the changing protocol standards. This transparency is one of the key benefits of WinInet. As
standards evolve, WinInet will also evolve while keeping your interface to the protocol the same. Without a
high-level interface like Winsock or WinInet, you would have to write code to handle the responsibilities of all
the TCP/IP protocol layers.
wininet.dll documentation from Microsoft 2 OCT 01
The Microsoft® Win32® Internet (WinInet) application programming interface (API) provides stand-alone client
applications with easy access to standard Internet protocols, such as Gopher, FTP, and HTTP, abstracting the
protocols into a high-level interface that is familiar to Win32 developers.

ZipApp for Clarion v1.2e (Free) (Utilities) 16 APR 05
What do I do ?
I backup your application files app/dct by default and any other file types you check - prj, hlp, tpl, ico, tpw, lib, map - I save the new zip file to either the zipapp directory or parent.
I do a recursive backup without exception - thus any subdirectories will also be included in the backup. I can do a full backup of all selected file types or only those modified from a specified date...
I could do plenty more but the idea is single click backup - nothing complicated - so its used often rather than rarely...
Zips up your image files too!
New zip files are always created each time you press Go - I don't delete anything, I don't overwrite anything - housekeeping (deletion of old zips is your job) having said this - you use at your own risk... and I'm only 500k to download....
