Does anyone know which Clipper 3rd party libraries contain the below functions?
I need to write an Xbase++ equivalent for a customer who is converting an old Clipper app.
C_SYEAR
C_EDAYS
C_ALLDIGIT
BC_PRINT
C_SYSTIME
C_SYSDATE
RLSET
RLSETFILTER
C_FILEGRAB
C_ISLPT
I_INDEX

Looks like that was the "Clipon Library" from a company called "Proware", owned by a guy called Roger Bacon (no joke). Maybe a contact is still possible. Look here:

Oops. Not the owner was called Roger Bacon, but the company resided at a Roger Bacon Drive in Reston, VA. Sorry.

Thanks Tom. I tested my old product, dCLIP, with every popular addon library, except I don't think I ever used ClipOn. I remember it, but don't know what it was used for. That's a help, so I'll keep on looking.
