1.3 dGE 5 – for clipper/Foxpro Programmers Only
it should be mentioned that dGE 5 does not support languages which use the older TSR system, a prime example being dBASE III, It is, therefore, important not to rule out older versions of dGE, and the older version 4 will continue to support such languages.
dGE version 5 is primarily for use with xbase dialcets such as Clipper and Foxpro. Support for languages such as C and assembler are also provided through a low-level API system interface (Styled rather like the Windows GDI). The API will lead to even greater performance for graphics drawing, even allowing the developer to bypass the common higer-level interface supplied with dGE. The API can be interfaced through Clipper’s Extern system with a language such as C, although not through Clipper directly.
