Sirs: I work for a window manufacturing company. The production software is written in clipper 5.2. It has been running for 15 years or so, and is composed of multitudes of programs, most somewhat intertwined. I have written most of it and modified the rest over the years.
I use the standard dbfntx clipper files for storage. The file server is running ubuntu linux with samba 3.0.22. I am attempting to run some of the programs compiled with harbour from linux computers in a shared environment with a bunch of windows computers running programs compiled with 5.2 There are a number of places where the programs create .dbf and .dbt files. When you create a .dbf file with dbcreate(), clipper 5.2 forces the filenames and extensions to uppercase. If the .dbf file has a memo file with it, I am unable to open it with harbour 1.0. Harbour attempts to open the memo file with a .dbt in lowercase extension. Any notion about how to get around this problem? Given time, I can probably find the place in the harbour source that sets the file extension and make it try both upper and lower case when it adds an extension. Is there a better way? Is there any hope of getting one of you guys who know the code to either do it, or at least to point me to the correct file and function(s) where the changes would need to happen? Thanks in advance, Jim Hurlburt Yakima, WA USA _______________________________________________ Harbour-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.harbour-project.org/mailman/listinfo/harbour-users
