            CLIPPER* ON-LINE REFERENCE LIBRARY FOR NORTON GUIDES**
                           Copyright 1988 Greg Lief


BACKGROUND

    Greetings, Clipper programmer!  Are you as tired as I am of digging out
    the Clipper manual every time you need to verify the syntax of a
    particular command or function?  It gets old, doesn't it?

    But lo and behold, the Norton Guides burst onto the scene, providing
    programmers with a wonderful on-line reference tool so that a simple
    syntax question would no longer derail our train of thought.  In
    keeping with the Norton philosophy of providing expandable products,
    the Norton Guides provided a means for the user to create their own
    reference database.  And so I have.

    This database (CLIPPER.NG) covers all commands and functions through
    Clipper's Summer '87 release.  I have also included reference materials
    covering run-time errors and the Extend system.


USAGE

    To use the Clipper On-Line Reference Library, copy the file CLIPPER.NG
    to the subdirectory where your other Norton Guides files are located.
    Then just fire up the Guides by typing "NG".  Press Shift-F1 to
    activate the Guides, then press "O" for Options and "D" for Database to
    select the Clipper database.  Dive in!
