Vouch32.lib is the result of quest to include Windows features into a 16 bit Clipper application without any change in the existing interface and business logic. | |
|
|
Over the years I have tried various third party applications to acomplish the same tasks, which are included in Vouch32, but have found that to manage so many executables or libs had been a headache all the time. Moreover the shift to another dialect or version greatly rendered those libraries useless. | |
|
|
I longed for long to reach to Windows utilities and interface from within a 16-bit Clipper application, but could not. Only recently, when I turned serious to Harbour and then to xHarbour, I realized the great capabilities of this compiler. | |
|
|
I experimented with it with a goal how I could exploit its power and flexibility in relation to my huge Clipper 5.3b application 'Vouch - a comprehensive business control system'. And I was amply rewarded. The result of which is Vouch32.lib. | |
|
|
This library is not an alternative to Windows development at all. It aims at utilizing the Windows capabilities from within the existing 16-bit applications without sacrificing the existing user interface and the business logic. The functions from Vouch32 can be called to support those functionalities which are not available to the 16-bit world. | |
|
|
I know that the base of Clipper developers is decreasing day-by-day. I have also ported all my applications to XBase++, but still I love the power of Clipper, and hope, many others will still be in love with it. | |
|
|
The help file accompanying the library and self contained demo executable will help you determine the usability of Vouch32. This is only the beginning. | |

I really appreciate, and is grateful, to the xHarbour team who has created such a marvelous compiler. Hats off to them... | |
|
|
I am also deeply thankful to Augusto Infante and Andrew Wos , authors of What32.lib, a WinApi library, as a great contribution to xHarbour with open source, and Whatplus.lib, an excellent library with a host of classes to develop realtime windows applications in xHarbour. It can be found at: | |
