Wconvert Version 1.0
By Jim Holley
Copyright (C) 1988
This document describes the usage of the Wconvert utility provided
with the Summer '87 version of Windows For Clipper.
What is Wconvert ?
Wconvert is a utility that will convert your Autumn '86 Clipper source
code that calls the Windows For Clipper library functions to the calling
syntax required by the Summer '87 version of the library. The utility is
very simple and straight forward in it use.
All functions in the Windows For Clipper library are now prefixed
with an underscore character. Wconvert will apply this prefix on any
Windows For Clipper function calls in your source files.
To use Wconvert, follow these simple instructions:
C:> Wconvert [source file name]
Where [source file name] is the name of one of your source files
containing Windows For Clipper function calls.
Using this calling syntax, Wconvert will read the source file and send
all output to the screen. You can do this to see what Wconvert does to
your source code. When you feel comfortable that Wconvert is not going
to destroy your masterpiece, you should run it again in the following
manner:
C:> Wconvert [source file name] >[destination file name]
Where [source file name] is the name of your source file. The '>'
is the DOS redirection operator, and [destination file name] is the
name of the destination file the output will be sent to. Wconvert
uses DOS redirection to create the converted source file.
The destination file name should ALWAYS be different than the source
file name. DOS may truncate the file if both names are the same, before
Wconvert gets a chance to read it and will result in losing the entire
contents of the file.
For more information on DOS redirection, please refer to your DOS
manual.
