Computer was virgin and have not printer instaled via LPT1 port

In this case  isprinter()  return .T.
but  set printer to LPT1
or  setprc(0,0)
or  @ 0,0 say 'HELLO'
hangt aplication

When I connected new printer to LPT1 - windows has a new printer driveer
instaled
and any printing via LPT1 are available

"The Clipper Oldboys" - sounds like a good name for a jazz band....

Hello,

See my reply with sample code in previous post how to prevent this.
Do NOT print to the LPT1..9 or COM1..9 devices.
Use xbpPrinter instead, and check the xbpPrinter():New():List() for 
availeble printers.

Thanks !!!
but set printer to OBJECT is since 1.90 and older aplication can't use this
syntax
I start with 1.2 and new features I introduce slowly and carefully

Vide  version 1.80 !!!   In this case I was return to 1.50 ( 1.60 and 1.70
are omit  - now interesting for my )
one week after  updating to 1.80 i must return to 1.50 = any aplication in
1.80 working bad (bnot working)  in novell or another net

What hapenned with alaska team about 1.80 - very fast come 1.82 - and this
version are stable and


My experience with bugs in new version are curious

for sample :

dbexport to CSV format (deldbe)  - when  field with negativ number
1.82  hangt computer
1.82. path file   give    *.*
1.90 give  0-.nn  for small number from 0 to -1  : sample -0.23  give in csv
file  0-.23    - another programs read this as 0.00

another  sample -   in version 1.82  -
append blank  --> OK,  replace ....    give error lock required
this error was correct in 1.90

I have very fondness to old clipper syntax !!! ( last aplication I have
making with 1.52e  and I have start first aplication with '86 nantucket
version)


Best regards

Hello,

I use Xbase++ over 10 years now, started with 1.2
As far as i can remember, all subsequent versions resulted in more stable 
applications.
I never (as fa as i remember) had to change the source code to make it work 
with a newer version.

FORGET the old versions, use 1.90-355 for all your projects.
If you could post some (ready to compile) code, i can see if i can repro 
your problem, and maybe i might be able to help.

Regards,
Jack Duijf
