The Clarion 5 B Update for Enterprise Edition (Candidate Release 1) is now
available as a free download.

This patch program installs Candidate Release 1 of Clarion 5 Enterprise
Edition release "B". This is an upgrade installation, and as such you must
have Clarion 5 A Enterprise Edition installed  (either installed from CD or
updated with the patch).

The production version of Clarion 5 "B" is in the final phase of closedown.
We are distributing this candidate release to allow our users early access
to the new features and fixes, and to expand testing to a larger audience.

This release includes a "feature-complete" version of the Wizatrons. The
latest Wizatron documentation (including tutorials on using the Wizatrons)
are in the patch. Additionally, all the files needed for the tutorials are
included.

If you find any bugs or regressions, please post a report to the TopSpeed
News group: topspeed.products.c5ee.bugs

TopSpeed thanks our Team TopSpeed members, alpha testers, and all of our
users, for helping to make this the best RAD tool in the industry.

New Features
-------------------

This is a short list of some of the new features in this release.  A
complete list of fixes and enhancements is in the readme.

A "feature-complete" version of the Wizatrons is included in this release.
You will find full instructions on using them in the Wizatron Handbook. This
contains full documentation for the latest Wizatrons and tutorials.

In addition, a new utility--The Template Wizatron--has been added. This tool
extracts embedded  code from a procedure and creates a template from it.
You'll find this template writing tool  useful even when you are not using
Wizatrons

Has any one installed 5b ??
Comments?

Roger Clark

Hi Roger,

I downloaded it and attempted to install it, but it stopped midway with this
message:

"C5SQAXL.LIB" is not a valid previous version and could not be upgraded.

It then did a rollback on the upgrade (good thinking on my part to select
the BACKUP FILES option <g>), but never did get it to install.

I sent email to Topspeed and am sure that I'll get a reply eventually.

Does anyone have any idea's?

After getting the REPLACE.ZIP, and re-registering my templates, it works
great.  Just started the Wizitron tutorials, LOTS OF CHANGES HERE...  I
wasnt really sure if I would ever use the Wizitrons, but now I'm sold on
them...

Bill Broyles

I felt/feel the same way. What feature(s) changed your mind?

Will there ever be a C5B for PE.

Ian

Had you upgraded your version to C5EEA prior to attempting to install the
patch?

The patch will upgrade C5A installations...  If you have not get the C5a
patch from the Topspeed Website, install it and run the C5B patch again...

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the great advice!

Looks like I was the victim of a brain fart ...  (I know Earl, I'm getting
old ...VBG)

As I replied in the email to you, I had apparently downloaded but not
installed the C5A patch over the C5Acr.
I pulled down both the C5A Enterprise patch and the C5A Internet Connect EE
update and installed both.

Afterwards the C5Bcr installed just fine.

I did have to re-register my templates again (didn't I see a utility
somewhere that can do this automatically for you?) and I did have to
re-install CPCS reportwriter and had to re-run the FM2 template utility to
re-enable my support for File Manager from CapeSoft (as advertised).

Afterwards ... everything seems to be running fine.

Again, many thanks for the help!
