Hello everybody,

I know this is not strictly an Xbase++ question, but as the final goal is to 
migrate to it, I ask the question anyway:

We have just taken over some legacy Clipper 5.2 app's from an outside 
programmer. I can't get one of these programs to link as two objects are 
missing in my environment:

    CMXDBT52.OBJ
    CMX52.LIB

Does somebody know what these files are ?

I suspect that they belong to some driver... If yes, does somebody have 
those driver and maybe doesn't use them anymore and would be willing to 
provide/sell these ?


Thanks

Franz Josef

These are part of the COMIX library. I have this somewhere, but I can't find
it right now. Perhaps it's knocking around on an old 486 somewhere .

Anyway, COMIX was a library for handling Foxpro tables and indexes.

Hi Phil

thanks for the prompt and I must say exhaustive help (referring as well to 
the other posts you sent) on our issue.

I followed your hints and went to the GrafXSoft site and find links to 
download a demo version, as well an online version (key protected).
Nothing works for download.

I left a mail at there sales contact adress, showing my interest to buy the 
driver - until now no response at all.

If you still have that driver and are able to find <Grin>, I'd be interested 
in buying it.
Please contact me then directly.

Thanks again for your support

Franz Josef Herbers


BTW: When searching through posts in the newsgroups, I like very much in 
your postings the quotes at the end (I'm missing the correct English word 
for them).
They show your sense of humour.. and make me smile (I guess this is true as 
well for other participants here)

One of my favourites of yours is the one with the predators and tasting bad. 
I'm sure, you'll know which I mean.

That's the idea!

ROFL! Yes, I like that one too.

I think, therefore I thwim.

Phil,

you don't need anymore to resurrect your old machine <grin>

I finally managed to contact Brian directly at GrafXSoft and then he took 
care of this.

Thanks again for your help

If you need Comix (for Clipper) you can purchase it here:

  http://www.grafxsoft.com/comix.htm

Xbase++ supports the same Foxpro tables/indexes, but you'd have to write
wrappers for some of the comix-specific functions if they have been used,
which return the index-key number etc. Most of them can be replaced by
Xbase++ functions, but I believe a couple are not possible.

The comix functions are allnamed cmx*(), so easy to spot. I have the norton
guides for comix if you want them.

Phil Ide

As a follow on to this, you can get an Norton Guide reader for Windows here:

http://www.davep.org/norton-guides/WEGSetup.exe

If you want to run Norton Guides through a web-browser, you can do it with
this tool:

Thanks to Dave Pearson for supplying these.
