Ben,
If you didn't install the samples originally, then they wouldn't
be there.
You can use the Clipper 5.2 INSTALL program to add the SAMPLE
files.  Select SAMPLE (yes) programs while saying (NO) to all
other options.  Give it the name of the 'BASE' directory you
already have for Clipper (CLIPPER5?) and it will install the
samples into its proper subdirectories.
Of course none of these files will have the original date/time
instead of the latest patch date/time on them.  All the files in
the SAMPLE directory would have a date/time stamp of 02-07-95
5:25 if they had been updated with the 5.2e patch.
I don't know if the patch will 're-update' the sample directory.
I'd guess that it would, and would like to hear if this works.
I hope you have the original installation disks, and not a
bootlegged copy.  :^)

If it's what I think, most of the TBROWSE samples were installed by the

The lines quoted above may make sense to you, but they are absolute
gibberish for everybody else in the area. ;-)
You probably have a DOS code page loaded that allows you to use characters
from your language. These are mapped to ASCII values in the range 128-256.
In other countries these values are mapped to other display characters,
so it looks like nonsense for other people...
In international exchanges, please stick to the low ASCII values only.
