Author How do i compile a .bis file?

2005-03-06, 3:55 am

Hello Im a novice programmer and I just saw a database program for a
laundry bussines from a guy that came for a few days Im learning clipper
even as some people may say its obsolete, I found that it can meet my
needs pretty well.

I got the .exe file among others: *.ntx *.dbf and i found a tinto.bis file
wich have the source code for the program however I dont have the compiler
or program that may allow me to compile and make the binaries for my own
programs.

If any of you may help me please send to my email the compiler or send me
and url to download.

I tried something called harbour but it only converts .prg files to .c so
Its not what iw as looking for.

If any of you know how to compile and make an .exe from a .bis please let
me know I really need it. thanks beforehand.

I was able to download an utilitie wich allow me to create databases spec.
the fields and the type of the content

And what does a .bis file look like??
Is it a .prg file (ie clipper code) with a different extension??
If so then just rename it with the appropriate extension.
Eg
ren x.bis x.prg
or
ren *.bis *.prg

The commercial version of xHarbour includes a C compiler - otherwise, free C
compilers are available for download.

Good luck!

Godzuki suggests that the .BIS file contains the source code for the program
so I would just RENAME the BIS file to PRG file then compile it with the
compiler you don't have yet. Since I don't support software piracy and I
don't know why you or Happy can't buy a copy, then I strongly suggest that
you definately DO NOT read the previous message to you AND DO NOT read Andi
Jahja's reply to you.

I don't know what 'previous' message you're referring to , but nothing I
said can even be construed as having anything to do with piracy. I agree,
the other download site should go...

Your view of usenet won't be the same as someone else's. People use
different news readers, sort threads in different ways, sometimes don't even
thread at all.
