Hello,
I would like to start learning the Clipper language because I have maintenance to do on a program written in this language.
I have searched for documentation on the internet to learn the syntax but unfortunately, I haven't found anything. Do you have any good tutorials to suggest (preferably free to download), books, or websites that cover Clipper?
Otherwise, I am looking for an editor that provides syntax highlighting for the Clipper language. All the ones I have tried so far (notepad++, crimson editor, ultra edit, ...) did not have it. Is there one that Clipper programmers are used to using?
Thank you in advance.

compile with clipper *.prg
you will get .obj files
you link these files with rtlink fi nom.obj
if your program is too long, the compiler returns an error message. You must then compile the subprograms to obtain object files that you will link afterwards
prog.prg compiled into prog.obj
prog1.prg compiled into prog1.obj
etc ....
RTLINK FI prog.obj, prog1.obj, etc
you will get .obj files
you link these files with rtlink fi nom.obj

prog1.prg compiled into prog1.obj

Hello
I can help you with Clipper programming because I have already used this language with the Debedit text editor
I am waiting for your questions.

Thank you very much!
I haven't started programming in this language yet, so at the moment I don't have too many technical questions, but I think that will change soon... For now, I'm mainly looking for ways to get familiar with the language (tutorials, sites, list of properties, methods...)
I would still like to hear your opinion on the language. What other language is it comparable to, is it intuitive,...
Otherwise, you said you use the debedit editor. I looked for information on it, but to be honest, I didn't find much. Is it free? Do you know where to download it?
Thanks again for offering your help.

I apologize for the intrusion, but I need help
I have a friend who inherited an application developed in CLIPPER5 under DOS
the technician who was in charge of maintaining the programs has left
I have the source programs, I read the programs in text format even though I did not know
the Clipper editor and to make modifications I would need the name of the translator or
the Clipper compiler knowing that when directly opening a program with the .prg extension, a message
appears asking me to have foxprow.EXE beforehand, what is that about, Allah knows best
I would need, please, the name of the editor for the *.prg under DOS as well as the compiler
thank you for sending your suggestions to: a_ammagui@yahoo.fr

Hello, can you remind me the formula for generating the executable in Clipper?
I know we use the PRG program from the main menu but I don't remember the rest of the formula.
Thank you in advance. sarkio@hotmail.com

Hi Sarkio, generating a program in .prg using the Nama method is a bit complicated. I recommend installing Clipper 5.3. To compile a program in Clipper, you need to use cl + program name without giving the .prg extension; the generator creates the .obj file and then the .exe file.

There's not much on the web. The only interesting links I know of are:

https://www.itlnet.net/Programming/Program/Reference/c53g01c/menu.html
Hope this works for you.

Hello everyone,
I am starting programming in Clipper and I would like to have some support to get started. Are there any people who could tell me where to find tutorials for beginners?
Thank you for your help.

In the tutorial, I don't have much.
Maybe this:
http://www.ghservices.com/gregh/clipper/
but I don't find it great...
However, here are some interesting links:
Lots of codes and small programs:
http://www.the-oasis.net/ftpmaster.php3?content=ftputils.htm
The Norton guide (in English) for version 5.3.:
http://www.ousob.com/ng/53guide/
or
https://www.itlnet.net/Programming/Program/Reference/c53g01c/menu.html
(you can also get it in French but not in HTML online. You have good programs to view .ng files in the previous link)
With this library and some programming knowledge, you should manage.
A FAQ:
http://www.davep.org/clipper/FAQ/clipper.html#toc1
The following link will allow you to do some object programming with Clipper and compile your code in 32-bit. You also have tools to better design your applications. However, it's paid. Personally, I haven't used it much.
http://www.alaska-software.com/products/xpp/xpp.shtm
In the same style, there's this which I believe is open source:
http://www.xharbour.org/
A forum dedicated to Clipper (in English):
https://www.tek-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=288
As for the editor, I use UltraEdit (UEStudio). I find it's the best (provided you take a little time to configure syntax highlighting, write a few macros,...)
That's it, hoping this can help you.
