What is Superlib ?

Posted on by vivaclipper

Superlib Description by Oasis 

The final version of SuperLib, and now it’s FREEWARE, and it comes with 100% SOURCE CODE and extensive norton guide.

SuperLib is a library of functions for Clipper 5.x.

What makes SuperLib different than other libraries on the marketplace is that is contains a large collection of METAFUNCTIONS. A metafunction is like a pre-packaged mini application, ready to link and run. For instance, SuperLib’s report writer is as simple to use as:

USE
REPORTER()

All of the metafunctions are menu-driven and ready to use without modifications. All SuperLib functions are data independant. All that is required is an open DBF file. SuperLib will determine the field structure and use the current DBF. SuperLib requires no special setup or way of doing things. It works with you, not against you. SuperLib functions will do their best to save/restore all settings as they found them. (such as colors, cursor, screens, etc.)

There are over 300 functions in SuperLib, ranging from the metafunctions down to the granular common component functions such as events and popups. (see the function list below, or the .NG file). This version of SuperLib is 100% mouse aware! All SuperLib functions
are automatically aware of the mouse and respond to the mouse.

SuperLib even contains replacements for Clipper’s READ, MENU TO, ACHOICE and MEMOEDIT functions that are mouse aware. Several functions are provided to help you build mouse awareness into your own functions.

SuperLib is Blinker 3.x, 4.x and Exospace compatible for protected mode programs. SuperLib is 99.9 % pure Clipper code, and uses no Clipper internals, which makes for painless upgrading to future versions of Clipper and the various linkers.

SuperLib is network ready, with all locking already built in. (works fine for single-user too)

There is no registration of SuperLib, since it is now freeware. The author, Gary Prefontaine, is no longer supporting the product. If you need help with this library, please ask on comp.lang.clipper

Thanks, Gary.
