Google Groups is another good forum, but it also is fading quickly. Clipper is a dying environment mostly used now to maintain legacy systems. On the downside it can be difficult to get into and doesn't have a lot of tutorial material available, especially for the Windows environment (it is mostly Linux based).Ĥ. It can be configured to compile old clipper programs with very few modifications. I use xHarbour for new programs or revisions to existing ones, because it gives 32 bit executables compatible with any Windows version, runs MUCH faster, and doesn't hog the CPU on input loops. So your existing programs still run under XP, but can run in windows on the Win 7 desktop, which is quite seamless.ģ. That is the configuration I use on my support machines, because then I can run both 16 and 32 bit programs concurrently.

However, if you get Win 7 64 Professional, you can install XP-mode (free download), which is a fully licensed XP pro which runs under Win 7 in a virtual machine.
Yes, 16 bit apps (Clipper 5.x for example) will run under Win7-32 very much like under XP.

The downside may be a lack of 64-bit drivers for older hardware (such as printers).Ģ. The big advantage is more memory addressability.

Neither 32 or 64 bit Win 7 is "standard", but 64 is more commonly used. Here are my personal opinions on your questions (others may disagree):ġ. I also maintain a bunch of legacy clipper apps (Summer '87, 5.x) and have migrated them to newer hardware successfully. RE: Clipper EXE's in 16, 32, 64 bit JockMullin (MIS) 17 Sep 12 09:51 Is there any better site for people like me still using Clipper? I know this forum doesn’t get much use now. But IF I need to change compilers would Harbour be better than XHarbour for a real novice like me?Ĥ. But if Question #2 is true then I don’t need to transfer to a different compiler, unless the programs were too sluggish. I’ve seen references to Harbour and XHarbour and looked at their websites. if question #1 is true, then I need to be careful to get the standard WIN 7)ģ. Do I understand correctly that my current programs WILL run under the 32 bit WIN 7 but not 64 bit? (i.e. Is the standard version of WIN 7 32 bit? (With 64 bit being an “upgrade” option)Ģ. I have been reading about clipper programs and 16, 32 and 64 bit operating systems on this site and am concerned about continuing to be able to use my clipper programs for some years to come.ġ.
I assume I will have to get WIN 7 when one of my three machines needs replacing. I use Clipper 5.2 and run the programs on XP Home SP3. I am a novice programmer running and maintaining a few clipper programs at my business and at home.
