Nope,  but it only costs around $70.00. It principally includes several
of the third party libraries as stock, like a mousing library,
graphics, and the Comix 3 RDD as the stock DBFCDX RDD. I think it also
includes FlexFile as an optional memo RDD.

Set epoch does not work in S'87 and the program needs to be kept

Write your reply.

assistant: You probably use Clipper 5.3a, don't you?
 Change the errorsys.prg as follows:
 * Look up:
	// for network open error, set NETERR() and subsystem default
	if ( e:genCode == EG_OPEN .and. e:osCode == 32 .and. e:canDefault )
		NetErr(.t.)
		return (.f.)									// NOTE
	end
* And add:
	// 5.3a Temp patch: for network open error, set NETERR() and subsystem
default
	if ( e:genCode == EG_OPEN .and. e:osCode == 5 .and. e:canDefault )
//                tone( 1050,1)
		NetErr(.t.)
		return (.f.)									// NOTE
	end
*
Compile errorsys.prg and add it to your link script, to bypass the
errorsys.obj in
your Clipper.lib.
 Good Luck!

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a problem with dbappend and indexes. Sometimes when I do
dbappend() I get a corruption detected DBFNTX 1210 error. When I
pack the dbf file and delete the index files and create new
index files it goes OK for a few dbappend()'s. But after 5 or 6
dbappend()'s I get the same error again.
This problem happens not on a stand-alone machine but always on one
particular fileserver. The way I handle rlock and flock is the same
as in other program I wrote with no prblems.
The problems happens on more then one workstation.

user: You are replying to All about "Comix/PC-NFS problem".

Write your reply.

assistant: We have been using Comix 3.00.07/Clipmore 3.00.07 with Clipper 5.2d on a
range of different networks for quite some time now. Recently we got a new
customer who's using PC-NFS 5.1d on a unix-host running Solaris 2.3. On
that network it's impossible to open a file in SHARED-mode if there is an
associated .CDX. EXCLUSIVE-mode works ok, and opening a .DBF in
SHARED-mode without .CDX also works.
According to the PC-NFS manuals, if drives are mounted with the /ms
parameter, the network should be compatible with the MS-DOS record/file
locking rules. However, they say that opening files in "compatibility mode"
works different.
I have the following questions:
1. Has anyone heard of this problem before ?
2. Does anybody know of any solution or workaround ?
3. Does anybody have experience with other RDD's on this type of network ?
My customer now only can use my program in single-user mode and they are
getting behind schedule. I hope someone is able to help.
Thanks in advance.

No, but I've forwarded a copy of your message to David Kuechler, the

Write your reply.

assistant: AH ->I have a problem with dbappend and indexes. Sometimes when I do
That's a toughie. The usual reason for a 1210 error is that the index
file has gotten out of sync with the .dbf file. It would _appear_ that
maybe you're not opening all of the index files you think you are when
run on that particular server. Have you tried upping the number of file
handles available on that server? If you're using the //F:xxx
environment variable, are you sure it's set on that server?
The best bet would be to run the program under the debugger on that
computer and assure that all of the index files are in fact opening
properly.
Could also be a SHARE problem. If you're loading SHARE, make sure
you're doing it as
SHARE /L:200 /F:4096
at a minimum, as the defaults are usually too low.
Are you issuing a COMMIT after each append?

Have you checked to see if the SET CENTURY ON command is implemented in

screen and picture clause stuff if it is, but the only other option is
to recompile in Clipper 5.

Write your reply.

assistant: For testing reasons you may want to try this
     replace dbappend with  the following code
     dbgobottom()
     dbskip()
     If you still get the error the problem is most likely somewhere in
the enviorment. As a way arround it until you find the problem you could
try this. I do not recommend using it for long but it is a temporary way
around the mountain while you get some dynomite. Cteate a loop in which
the dbappend occurs insert a local variable and give it the value of 0
or 1 then every time the program does a dbappend() add one to the number
and set it up so that when it gets up to 3 or 4 it will rebuild the
index and then shoot to the append. As I said this is not a solution it
is only a way around the problem until you find the mix up and fix it.
