CLIPPER 5.3 Installation

Dear Clipper programmers,

As a new member of this community, I allow myself to explain you my
problem.
I'm new, very new with CLIPPER language.

After installing my 8 disks for the clipper software (excepting help files
that cause problems at installation), I tried to launch the CACI.exe that
seems to be the developement station.

Here are the messages that are produced after the splash screen:
- msgbox: repository is probavly destroyed. OK
- error in int: CompRegisterNames() failed ! OK
- ADAM: error in int (33) Contact CA technical support

Those three msgbox appear each time launching the app and finally the app
won't run.

I found a caci.ini in my windows directory (winXPsp2) and edited that
one.
This part especially is critical I think:
[CA-Clipper Workbench Directories]
ExecutablePath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI
ApplicationsPath=C:\CLIP53A
PRGPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
AEFPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
MEFPath=C:\CLIP53A\CACI\DATA
InitBufferFile=
InitLineNr=41091072
[NanErrOptions]
CrtSize=600

The installation was done in c:\clip53A directory.

Could someone help me on that issue? If not, is there another way to
develop a DOS based application in Clipper?

Thanks for your great support.
Have a nice day.

I don't think many from us uses CACI.exe to make a program.

You have to got familiar with the compile / link cyclus , or , and maybe for
a beginner it is the most easy , use a builder.

I can recommand xMate from andy , see a thread from 4/11/2004

Dear users,

Maybe I found the solution.
For now, the CACI is working well but I think this one is more difficult
that notepad :P

Could you give me some link on basics of Clipper programming and basics on
the compile cycle.

In fact, I'm a developer so I have some ideas on how this will work but I
have no documentation for that.

By the way, my need is to access a DBase database to read and write
records in order to make an order manager for a company.
Will clipper be my best solution? I think yes since I read some articles
on it.

Thanks for your care.

Best regards.

Thank you for your response.
All seems to work now...

Now I have to learn Clipper language to develop my application.

See you soon (certainly on this forum :))
