As always, if you have a question, please ask it on our user forum, or send us an email at: support@cwhandy.ca. The CHT user forum app is located in \accessory\bin\ and is called HNDCLIENTCL.EXE. The login parameters are your LAST NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS and your CHT SERIAL NUMBER.

FAMILIARITY WITH CHT PRE-COMPILED UTILITY APPLICATIONS

CHT provides an abundance of example and utility applications. Source code, of course, is provided for "HND" apps, in standard .APP format. SOME of these applications in your toolkit, besides being provided in source app format, are also provided in pre-compiled format to act as toolkit utilities and developer support utilities. The pre-compiled applications listed below are only a portion of the source code .APP files provided for use and study by CHT developers. There are plenty of CHT source applications in the \hndapps\ directory which are not pre-compiled, ready for you to learn from.

Each source app features numerous CHT templates. Get to know these applications, what they have to teach and/or the toolkit support services they provide. We have an application summary document located here:

The applications listed below are provide as a service or services to the CHT toolkit. They are code-signed and located in your /accessory/bin/ directory. SOME of them are called directly from our templates while some are intended to be used separately.

The number to the left of each of the 30 pre-compiled apps listed below is its position in the HNDCMP.TPS (compile manager) application listing. This set of pre-compiled batch-bots and utilities comprises only 30 out of 120 example applications provided with the CHT toolkit.

** The source code (app file) for all of the "HND" applications and many more, are provide for you to study, or from which to borrow parts via procedure import.

** Many of the things you might want to build or might have considered building yourself are here waiting to be discovered, and will provide your apps with a generous supply ideas and importable components.

** To aid you as you experiment and discover, we've supplied with this build, three "STUB" apps. These are entirely empty apps, with one procedure (MAIN or SERVERMAIN) and a dictionary (where one is needed). The apps are called: HNDSTUBFILESERVER.APP, HNDSTUBPAGESERVER.APP and HNDSTUBWINDOW.APP

** You can use FILE "SAVE AS" to rename these stub apps to something unique of your own and work with us in future videos and articles, to make them into something useful - using IMPORT from our apps, or JUMPSTART or UTILITY templates that we provide.

** In the meantime, get to know CHT demo apps and utilities! We'll get you building something awesome with just your favorite Clarion and our incredible templates and resources and your clever brains.

• GET TO KNOW THE COMPLEXITY LEVEL OF CHT-PROVIDED APPS •

• GET TO KNOW THE EXTENT OF YOUR OWN CHT-BASED APPS USING •
