  • Deseperately looking for Blinker3.3

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jun 16 18:23:46 2019
    Hi all

    Can't find my original media of Blinker3.3 (I licensed it ~30 years ago) and need to rebuild a big Clipper5.2 project that was linked with that version. BlinkInc is out of business and haven't been able to find that sw.

    Any hints ?

    Cheers from Chile !

    Good day Robert,

    Hmmm that might be an issue. The closest I can suggest is to look at harbour as an alternative compiler for the interim. In the long run, I would suggest you look at XSharp.

    Good luck,

    Blinker appears to be unobtainium. This appears to be an "alternative", and I have not tried it:

    Harbour or xHarbour should accept your code with few modifications (xHarbour should be fewest), and you will have a 32-bit Windows console application when you are done. There is a newsgroup for xHarbour: comp.lang.xharbour, and there is a UDF that you
    can locate there for swpruncmd, if your code uses it.

    Got it .. Thank you !
    It just did some brief tests and appears to work fine. Tomorrow I'll try to rebuild the entire project.
    I'm grateful beyond words.

    The link refers to Warplink.

    Some while back I ended up using Warplink - not sure why because I'm
    fairly sure at the time that I had the relevant version of Blink
    around but I ended up preferring Warplink and if memory serves me
    right it was a good sight faster.

    I think I may still have my Blinker installed files laying about somewhere. Not sure what version it is. I can check if you like.

    reply here, or to Kirby LW AT yahoo dot com
