I'm working on an application written in Nantucket Clipper (compiled dBase); commercial distribution is planned. The Clipper screen write is not particularly fast, and I'm considering a direct write to the screen buffer. Question: Has anyone heard whether or not the buffer address will be changed in future DOS versions? Side issue - has anyone else noticed how slow Clipper DO loops are?
