Has anyone successfully used the Clipper compiler and plink86 to link clipper object files with object files produced by MS C 4.0? Steve Watson Computer Sciences Corp. 4045 Hancock St. San Diego, Ca. 92002 (619) 225-8401 swatson@NOSC.ARPA

I have, somewhere, a hack that is alleged to work with 3.0; can't guarantee it as I've never used it. Nantucket only supports links to Lattice; 3.1 for the new (Autumn 86) Clipper, 2.15 for older versions.

Please let me know any results of this as I am a Clipper and an MSC programmer... +=============================================================================+ | Lonnie VanZandt University of Illinois Dept. of CS (217) 333-1925 | | | | arpa vanzandt@p.cs.uiuc.edu vanzandt@uiuc.ARPA | | csnet vanzandt@uiuc.csnet | | usenet ihnp4!uiucdcs!vanzandt | +=============================================================================+

It is impossible. Those silly people at Nantucket used symbol names that conflict with those in the MS C libraries. The wrote Clipper in Lattice C, so they didn't really notice the incompatibility with MS C until after release. They don't seem very interested in fixing this. If you need to link C modules with Clipper modules, you need to use Lattice C. If you need a copy, I have a copy of Lattice 3.1 I'd like to get rid of. I'll make you an even swap for your MS 4.0, which I need another copy of. -- < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < < <> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Mark D.
