SP Linking with SuperLib
Linking with either RTLINK or BLINKER is fairly
painless. (OR EXOSPACE FOR 5.3)
For RTLINK I use:
RTLINK FI <file> LIB SUPER35
For BLINKER I use
BLINKER FI <file> ALLOCATE SUPER35
For EXOSPACE (5.3) I use
EXOSPACE FI <file> LIB SUPER35
Of course you may also use a link file.
SP Changing SuperLib
If you wish to change the source code to certain
SUPER.Lib modules and replace them in the SUPER.LIB file,
you will need access to a library manager.
The most popular and accessible is LIB.EXE, from
Microsoft, which comes with many Microsoft compilers.
You will need version 3.11 or above of LIB.EXE.
To update the library, do the following:
1. Change and test the .PRG, .C or .ASM module.
for Clipper (PRG) modules, I use:
CLIPPER <file> -n -w
for C (C) modules, I use: (MSC 5.0)
CL /c /AL /Zl /Oalt /FPa /Gs /Fo<file>.obj <file>.c
for Assembly (ASM) modules, I use: (MASM 5.10)
MASM <file>;
2. After testing, use the following to replace the module in
the library with the new .OBJ file:
LIB SUP??? -+<objectfilename> ;
or
LIB SUP??? -+<objectfilename1>+<objectfilename2>;
The semicolon is important.
Further documentation will be found in the LIB.EXE
reference manual.

SP Internal Datafiles
SuperLib uses a number of internal datafiles to store
such things as queries, reports and colors. All of these files have default names - for instance queries are stored in QUERIES.DBF by default. SuperLib 3.x provides a series of functions to determine internal file names and locations. All of these functions start with SLSF_ (Super Lib System File ) Function Purpose Default SLSF_REPORT([cNew]) Stored reports SFREPORT SLSF_QUERY([cNew]) Stored queries QUERIES SLSF_FORM([cNew]) FORMLETR() forms FORM SLSF_HELP([cNew]) Help records HELP SLSF_LIST([cNew]) LISTER() definitions PLIST SLSF_SCROLL([cNew]) Lookup definitions SCROLLER SLSF_COLOR([cNew]) Color sets COLORS SLSF_TODO([cNew]) TODOLIST() dbf TODO SLSF_TDN1([cNew]) TODOLIST 1st index TODO SLSF_TDN2([cNew]) TODOLIST 2nd index TODOP SLSF_TDN3([cNew]) TODOLIST 3rd index TODOD SLSF_APPT([cNew]) Appointments APPOINT SLSF_LABEL([cNew]) Labels database CLABELS SLSF_OLD([cNew]) O.L.D. doc database SLOLDS Where [cNew] optionally sets the path and/or filename. If [cNew] is passed, this is the value returned as well. For example, to change the default file and place where reports are stored when using REPORTER(), SLSF_REPORT("c:\hidden\MYREPORT") // sets the report file // to MYREPORT.DBF in // c:\HIDDEN These take the place of the following public variables in earlier versions of SuperLib: _REPORTS = "SFREPORT" (for reports) _FORMS = "FORM" (for form letters) _QUERIES = "QUERIES" (for queries) _LISTER = "PLIST" (for lister) _TODODBF = "TODO" (for todo list) _TODONTX1 = "TODO" (TODO category INDEX) _TODONTX2 = "TODOP" (TODO priority INDEX) _TODONTX3 = "TODOD" (TODO do by INDEX) _HELP = "HELP" (for help) _SCROLLER = "SCROLLER" (for scroller) _COLORS = "COLORS" (for colors) COLORS are now stored in a DBF file, rather than a .MEM file.
