hi,
I am using CLIPPER 5.3, and have downloaded some Libraries from
oasis.net

But when I link OBJ file using EXOSPACE FI <filename> LIB <library>
syntax it is showing a error "UNRESOLVE EXTERNAL CLIPPER520".
and it is showing with both the library files.

can anybody suggest on this please.

Thanks

The fact that you are using 5.3 and the error containing "520"
might give you a clue....

Hi,
I have had the same problem years ago - i have simply opened the
xxx.lib file with DOS-hex editor (HIEW of VC - Volkov Commander), found
and overwritten the string CLIPPER520 with CLIPPER530 - and it has
worked.

If you included the "long file name support library", Ross McKenzie
(using his magic wand) recommended the trick mentioned in this thread:

Add the following to your <appmain>.prg

ANNOUNCE CLIPPER520

That will remove the warning, another way to remove it is to recompile those
libraries with Clipper 5.3

You could have found this out by reading the manuals/ng.
