   Advantage Libraries with FiveWin and Clip-4-Win
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   FiveWin and Clip-4-Win are products which convert CA-Clipper DOS code
   into 16-bit Windows applications. FiveWin and Clip-4-Win do this by
   providing Windows Libraries which interface the CA-Clipper code into
   the Windows environment.

   Advantage works with FiveWin and Clip-4-Win by providing Windows
   communication layer DLLs to connect FiveWin and Clip-4-Win applications
   with the Advantage Database Server. The Advantage 16-bit Windows
   communication layer DLLs, AXCOMM16.DLL, ADSIPX16.DLL, and ADSIP16.DLL,
   are referenced by your FiveWin or Clip-4-Win applications via the Advantage
   translation import library AXSC2WIN.LIB. This library may be found in
   the C:\ADS\CLIPPER\WINCOMM directory where the Advantage CA-Clipper RDDs
   were installed.

   After running the Advantage CA-Clipper Libraries install program, copy
   the following Advantage 16-bit communication DLLs from the
   C:\ADS\CLIPPER\WINCOMM directory to your local development PC's
   C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory depending upon the communication protocol
   desired:
   * For communication via IP or IPX, AXCOMM16.DLL, ADSIPX16.DLL, and
     ADSIP16.DLL are required.
   * For communication via IP only, AXCOMM16.DLL and ADSIP16.DLL are
     required.
   * For communication via IPX only, AXCOMM16.DLL and ADSIPX16.DLL are
     required.
   * For IPX communication to be successful, the NWCALLS.DLL and
     NWIPXSPX.DLL files must also exist.  Advantage does not install
     these files.

   When integrating Advantage with FiveWin or Clip-4-Win applications,
   the link script order is very important. The Advantage Client AOF library,
   if used, must be linked before the FiveWin/Clip-4-Win library is linked.
   The Advantage RDD library must be linked before the FiveWin/Clip-4-Win
   library.  Reference the FiveWin sample link script, AXSFIVEW.LNK, or the
   Clip-4-Win sample link script, ADSCLP4W.LNK, in your C:\ADS\CLIPPER\WINCOMM
   directory for more information on linking Advantage into your FiveWin
   and Clip-4-Win applications.  Also review the README.TXT file in your
   C:\ADS\CLIPPER directory for the latest information on linking and using
   FiveWin and Clip-4-Win with Advantage.
