Using procedures / functions
|

| I'm trying to use some interesting string functions written by others contained in this archive:
http://www.goldenstag.net/dbase/liw55b.zip
I've succeeded at feeding dBase the "STRINGX.CC" file, and it creates a "STRINGX.C0" file from that, but every time I attempt to call a function, it complains about the absense of a .PRG file or about variables being not defined.
Where should I put this file and what other settings should I make for dBase to be able to use some of these functions?
Thanks.

Did you try reading the directions in the dUFLP? README.TXT explains a
lot ...
You have to create an instance of the StringEX class ...
oString = new StringEX()
? oString::somemethod(
)
where "somemethod" is the name of the "function" ...

I was utterly ignorant of dUFLP, but 10 minutes worth of searching, and a little reading, and now it works exactly as advertised.
Many thanks!

Sure. The dUFLP is a handy library, if I may say so (being the
creator/librarian). If you move up to the 32-bit world, you'll find it
even more amazing and useful (tons more stuff ...).
