Clipper users out there may be interested to know that Tom Rettig has released the current, and apparently final, version of his add-on library (version 1.20) into the Public Domain. He is distributing a .ZIP file of it to BBS's around the country. This text is provided: "TRL4CL.ZIP is the same award-winning software that sold thousands of copies at $99.95. In 1986, this was the first third-party library developed for Clipper, FoxBASE+ and dBASE III PLUS. All rights were released into the Public Domain by Tom Rettig Associates on October 22, 1990. Works with both Clipper 5.0 and Summer '87, and includes complete source code." [ mostly C, some .ASM ] In an era of increasing of increasing software litigation and protectiveness, this is interesting. Tom Rombouts Torrance Techie tomr@ashtate.A-T.com V:(213)538-7108 .
