------------------------------------------
Clip4win is a (very good) library wich allow you to write REAL WINDOWS
EXE (but only in 16 bits, because Clipper makes 16 bits *.obj)
The structure of your PRG is, in such a windows style programming, very
close from C style. BUT, last Version of Clip4Win include an OOP engine
which allow you to create your own classes...
if you want to use Clip4Win you MUST :
--------------------------------------
   1) >>>LEARN<<< how works MS Windows' API
      (with a book like the very best: Charles Petzold's WINDOWS
      PROGRAMMING, the one which is dedicated for windows 3.1 and NOT
      the last release dedicated for Windows 95)
   2) you absolutely need :
     - a linker which makes windows compatible EXE
       like BLINKER 3.x or more or MSLINK 5.3 or more
     - a resource compiler like Borland's WORSHOP or the RC compiler
       from Microsoft
     - of course Clipper 5.2 or 5.3    :))
       IMHO, the best way is buying an old version of Borland C++ which
       include both **a complete WINDOWS API Help file** AND WorkShop.
       (eg: Borland C++ 3.1)
       (BUT, alas, Borland's linker (TLINK) is *NOT* compatible with
       Clip4Win and/or Clipper)
    3) You optionaly need:
       - an Help Compiler if you want to create Windows Help File.
    4) here follows an advertising i found at (in December 1996) :
