Clipper, creating executable files

creating executable files

Author	Message
Michael Watso #1 / 9	creating executable files Does Clipper 5.3 have the ability to create stand alone executable files that will run in DOS without having to have clipper on the machine. Thanks Mike

Stephen Quin #2 / 9	creating executable files Mike Yes. Why do you ask?? -- HTH Steve Quinn If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out. Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.

Michael Watso #3 / 9	creating executable files I need to convert some small (less than 20 lines) dbase III+ files to an executable so that I can use them in a DOS batch file. Otherwise I have to type in DBASE then DO {filename}then EXIT. Also would like to have other people in our office run the files without having to go through the dbase interface. -Mike Quote: > Mike > Yes. > Why do you ask?? > -- > HTH > Steve Quinn > If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out. > Age is a very high price to pay for maturity. > Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. > > Does Clipper 5.3 have the ability to create stand alone executable files > > that will run in DOS without having to have clipper on the machine. > > Thanks > > Mike

steve mcnaughto #7 / 9	creating executable files nick aaaahhhh. so refreshing to think that all that technology i knew 15 years ago is still useful :) my .02. michael would probably be better speed wise to compile under 5.3 instead of using interpreted code. -- Steve McNaughton Auditron http://www.auditron.com Quote: > >On Tue, 12 Dec 2000 06:38:40 GMT, Michael Watson > >>I need to convert some small (less than 20 lines) dbase III+ files to > >>an executable so that I can use them in a DOS batch file.

Mike Murc #8 / 9	creating executable files This was a primary reason for purchasing and using Clipper on day 1. Compile it and give them a bat file to run. Otherwise, every one who runs the program needs their own $400 copy of Dbase. Also - they can't change the code!
