| What are some of the alternatives to the workbench for Clipper 5.3 (I'm
particularly interested in options that work on Windows XP)? I've had
lots of problems with the workbench, and I'm curious as to what other
Clipper programmers are using.
Thanks!

| Hi,
we use Multiedit with Evolve and compile/link (Blinker 7.0) with Batches
called from Multiedit.
Works fine.

A DOS window (using Norton Commander as the Shell)
ED4DOS is the editor of choice for me with 'Q' as my secondary editor, VI as
my 3rd.
WorkBench was broken when it was released for Windows 3.1, good luck getting
it to work at all - under any windows OS.

| Nellie,
You will have problems with the 5.3 workbench. I have used it very
successfully for all my Clipper 5.3 applications, well until Win98 that is.
Were not able to get it to run on any newer Win. So the moral of the story,
I am keeping one oldish machine running on Win98 to do my Clipper stuff on
using the workbench.
Alternatively use the normal makefile with whatever you feel comfy with for
an editor. Put a shortcut on your desktop to the makefile to handle
compile/link cycles and you have an "interactive GUI" for your Clipper apps.
I went so far as to create a series of bat/make files where one only specify
all your files once and the makefile system first generates the dependencies
for your application and then fire itself to do the compile/link cycle on
the fly.

| i do not use the workbench since VO 1.0x beta testing.
the cl*pper workbench had the same problem with ADAM like VO1.0x.
if i remember right, the problem was that most of the beta tester was not
using "build in" editor, like me. ( i still use ETP, developed by the first
German
Nantucket Reseller called KRS ) so ADAM had problem to syncronisize it.
@devcon Köln i meet Iwo Wessel, how show me to integrate ETP as VO -
Editor ... and it work´s, no more repository problem any more.
later cl*pper v5.3 arrived with the workbench from VO ... and had the same
problem ...
greetings by OHR
