Intro ~~~~~~~~ This program was written to allow you to run Clipper executables on your Cyrix/IBM 6x86 processor. As official Cyrix FAQ says, "Clipper inserts software timing loops into the applications when the code is compiled. The 6x86 processor executes these loop instructions faster than previous x86 CPUs which interferes with timing dependent code in the program." This causes runtime errors and/or hangups. Solution used in 6X86CLIP is to slow down the loop instruction in order to correct the timings. 2. Usage ~~~~~~~~ Just type 6X86CLIP at command prompt and enjoy ! You can do it in Windows 95 without any risk or data loss, as well ! 3. Last words ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This program was tested on Cyrix/IBM P120+ , P150+ and even P166+. There were no problems with Clipper programs I have and tested. I hope you find this program useful... However this program is FREEWARE, let me know that you use it. That is a good feeling when you know there is somebody using your program... E-mail: hakszer@elf.stuba.sk (or) igorh@mail.datapac.sk Snail: Hakszer Igor Febr. vit. 11 92523 JELKA -SLOVAKIA- 4.
