                       Further Clip-4-Win information
Clip-4-Win is an add-on library to Clipper 5, which allows you to
produce Windows programs (currently Windows 3.1 Enhanced mode
only).  Clipper's Open Architecture and VMM make this possible.
In effect, Clip-4-Win connects Clipper's VM to Windows, and also
enables direct access to most of the Windows API.  The Windows
functions not yet directly supported can be accessed via the
Clipper Extend System.  You continue to use the Clipper compiler
(CLIPPER.EXE).  No TSR or special device driver is required.
As you may know, Windows is an event-driven system.  Many of
these events are handled automatically by Clip-4-
Win, but even these are available to your Clipper program, along
with keystrokes, mouse clicks, re-sizing a window, and so on.
Windows is a much richer environment than DOS, so you do need to
change your existing applications to take advantage of it.  (This
is not only true of Clip-4-Win, but also for programs written in
C, Pascal, BASIC and other languages when moving to Windows.)
However, most of Clipper's functionality is supported unchanged
by Clip-4-Win (e.g. locals, statics, code blocks, databases, even
TBrowse).  Features which are different under Windows include
menus, fonts and colours.  You must make changes to use these.
