Clipper 5.3b exe

Hi All

I reinstalled my clipper 5.3a ... and applied the 5.3b US patch , but the clipper.exe doesn't seem take the patch .. all other files do. This has come about because I'm now getting a memory low error and I'm trying to get rid of it. Apparently, clipper.exe for 5.3b with the updates to the errsysw.prg gets rid of it. But I can't get it patched to 5.3b as i stated earlier. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to send the clipper.exe for 5.3b to me, or if anyone can assist in fixing it I would appreciate it.

After the 5.3b patch ... my clipper.exe is date/time stamped 06/20/1995 5.30a and 208,185 in size.

Update: found the solution:

Optedit 5.3a update has to be installed first for the 5.3a and 5.3b updates can be patched. Last time it did it, it so long ago I forgot about this requirement.

Thanks for reading.

Hello,

Put the files provided with the Clipper 5.3b patch in the root directory of clipper (by default \CLIP53), then load PATCH.EXE. This is the way for the
5.3b international version.

Files to copy into Clipper 5.3 root directory :
53A_BI.RTP
PATCH.EXE
CLIP53BI.TXT

Regards,
