Be aware that Clipper 5.3 is _not_ a windows programming language though it

At the same time I have developed a number of applications that run very well
under Windows 3.1 and Windows '95, written in 5.3a.

By the way, another problem is that I use various areas and database and

Well... I use 5.2d and don't have any problem.  If you're using some of the
early releases of 5.2 (a/b/c) you might encouter problems, and I'd say you're
better off upgrading to 5.2e (latest release).
