#1 debugger, colors, browsing

[Anonymous]

Hi Developers!
I started to use the clip package, because I have some clipper
applications I have to move to linux.
I compiled the apps and I found the following errors:
1.
I can't start the debugger. If I start clip_dbg it's only a blank
screen, and I don't know how to activate the debug process
I can't find any doc on it.
2.
The browsing on the screen is made with the tbrowse class.
If I move the record ( pressing the down key or seek to a part of
the index key ) it moves to a different record.
3.
The colors are totally different from the dos one
( For example setcolor('N/N, N/N,,, ') is visible on the screen )

Please help me, what did I wrong, or how to solve the problems.

Thank you for your help

To debug there are three alternative methods(given by the original developers)

1. dump, 100% workable way:
   add to source logging code
   ? "hello"
   a:=1
   outlog(FILE,LINE,a,....)
   and see log file.

2. dump command line debugger clip_dbg
   on 1th console run
   clip_app --stop / app started and wait debugger before MAIN procedure /
   or
   clip_app --debug / app run and wait signal "stop" from debuuger /
   on 2th console run
   clip_dbg <pid>
   and use commands for control clip_app:
   help
   ...</pid>

3. iteractive text mode CLD-like (from clipper distrib) debugger:
   on 1th console run
   clip_app --stop / or --debug /
   on 2th console run
   clip_cld
   and use menu and command window for debugging:
   connect
   ? <varname>
   F7,F8,....</varname>
