<<Clarion Options Program>>

The Clarion Options program allows you to tailor your application
program's INI file parameters to your preferences.

<<Open INI File Window>>

The Open INI File window allows you to specify the name of your
applications program INI file.  For example, if your program's
executable name is MYPROG.EXE, your INI filename would be
MYPROG.INI.

<<No Changable Parameters Window>>

The No Changable Parameters window warns you that the applications
INI file you have selected may have environment variables set in the
file, but none are usable or changeable by the Clarion Options
program.  You may restore all of the system defaults, or choose to
make no modifications.

<<Save .INI File As... Window>>

The Save .INI File As... window allows you to specify the name of
your applications program INI file to be used in the save operation.
You may specify a different name than the one you entered in the
Open INI File window (save as).  If the file you have specified
already exists, a backup copy of the ini file is made with a .BKP
file extension before the INI file is overwritten.

<Yes Button>
Yes Button
     Saves the current set parameters in the INI file you have
     specified.

<No Button>
No Button
     Abandon the changes you have made to the INI file, and don't
     save the file.

<Cancel Button>
Cancel Button
     Exit this window, and don't do anything.

<<Options Error Window>>

The Clarion Options Error window warns you that an error has
occurred while processing your program INI file.  The error message
describes the error.

<<Reset Defaults Warning Window>>

The Reset Defaults Warning window explains that if you choose to
restore the Clarion defaults for your INI file, you will lose any
changes you have previously made to the INI file during a OPTIONS
session, as well as any values predefined in the INI file.

<<Update Month Names/Abbreviations Window>>

The Update Month Names/Abbreviations window allows you to change the
text used to display month full names and abbreviations.  This sets
the CLAMONTH and CLAMON environment variablesto the values you
specify.

Each month's full name field on the window may be selected by the
ALT- key in conjunction with its highlighted hot key.  Once
selected, you may change its display text.  When you change a month
full name and press TAB to move the cursor to the corresponding
abbreviation field, the abbreviation automatically defaults to the
first three characters of the month full name.

<Reset Default Button>
Reset Default Button
     Restores the pre-defined (English) month full names and
     abbreviations.


<<Update AM/PM Indicators Window>>

The Update AM/PM Indicator window allows you to change the text
used to indicate AM or PM as a part of a time display field.  This
sets the CLAAMPM environment variable to the values you specify.

<Reset Default Button>
Reset Default Button
     Restores the pre-defined (English) AM and PM indicators.

<<Update Collating Sequence Window>>

The Update Collating Sequence window allows you to change the
default sort order of ASCII characters 32 through 254
(inclusive), excepting 127.  This gives your application the
ability to support the natural sort order of a language other
than English.  This sets the CLACOLSEQ environment variable
to the sequence you specify.

The Collating Sequence specified in the CLACOLSEQ environment
variable must be an exact length (223 characters).  If the
length is incorrect, the default collating sequence will
automatically be loaded.  If you maintain the collating sequence
through this window, the length will always be correct.
Therefore, changes to CLACOLSEQ should NOT be made directly in
your INI file.

<Char / Pos>
Char / Pos
     A list of the characters you may re-sequence and their
     current positions.

<Current:>
Current:
     Displays the selected character and its current numeric
     order.  The text field below "Current:" is a representation
     of the current collating sequence (in order).

<Move Character Up Button>

     Moves the selected character up in the collating sequence.
     Grey Minus may also be used.

<Move Character Down Button>
Move Character Down Button
     Moves the selected character down in the collating sequence.
     Grey Plus may also be used.

<Reset Default Button>
Reset Default Button
     Restores the pre-defined (English) collating sequence.


<<Update Character Case Window>>

The Update Character Case window allows you to change the subset
of characters used for upper and lower case.  The two fields,
Uppercase and Lowercase, must be exactly the same length.  This
sets the CLACASE environment variable to the values you specify.

<Uppercase:>
Uppercase:
     Allows you to specify the character subset used for upper
     case.  Must be the same length as Lowercase:.

<Lowercase:>
Lowercase:

     (ALT-EQUAL and System-Level Information enabled).


<<Virtual Memory Setup Window>>

The Virtual Memory Setup window allows you to tailor your
application program's virtual memory (VM) usage.  This sets the
CLAVM environment variable to the values you specify.  Changes are
not saved until Ok is pressed.
