Back around November, 1990 a number of us here on NANFORUM decided to

get together to create the "Nanforum Toolkit", a public domain, user

supported library of Clipper 5.0-compatible functions that many feel

should have been included in CLIPPER.LIB.  The idea received a lot of

popular support from other NANFORUM people, some third-party

developers, and Nantucket development and management.  This project,

however, is independent of any third party vendor or Nantucket.


You are welcome to participate.  In short, Clipper developers such as

yourself submit code to the librarian, who routes it to "referees" --

people who check it out. If all goes well, your code is added to the

library, and the library and complete documentation is made available

to anyone and everyone who can download it from CIS.  There are no

fees, dues, taxes, or any other form of compensation involved.  All

code must be in the public domain.


The current librarian is:    Glenn Scott  [CIS: 71620,1521]


If you want complete details on how the library works, download

NFRFC.ZIP from library 7.  This is our proposed standard, and will

also give you pointers on formatting your code for submission to the

library, should you decide to send code.  It will also describe other

ways you can help.  Special file header templates for your source

code can be found in NFHDRS.ZIP, also in library 7.  Both of these

files are updated from time to time.


Thanks for inquiring!
