Џ' CLIP Ь ЯЯЯЯЯ яThe CLIP system consists of 2 parts. The first, CLIPMENU, is the program you are using now. It is used to select various parameters for a run of the second part: CLIP. This program takes care of the actual extraction of the modules from the source files. In CLIPMENU you can create an INI-file with the settings you desire. This file is used by CLIP as input, so it will know what it is desired to do. By using the batchfile CLIP.BAT you are able to start CLIP from within CLIPMENU, using the StartяExtraction command in the Project menu. /»я' INI-file Ь ЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯ An INI-file is the a file in which the settings for a run of CLIP are stored. It is an ASCII file, so you can read it. Also, it is possible to edit an INI-file, but this is DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMENDED. It's much more convenient to use CLIPMENU to create or change the settings. '4 Source files dialogbox Ь ЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯЯ vUse this dialogbox to select the source files for CLIP. These are the files from which the modules will be extracted.

Above this, you see the current directory and the currently selected file. On the right side there is another box, which contains the files you have selected. Below these two boxes there is a row of buttons: % Confirm Use Move Remove Cancel & You can select files by clicking them using the mouse, or by using the keyboard.

The easiest way is by using a mouse. You can simply click on anything you want to select. я If you don't have a mouse, don't worry. There are keyboard equivalents for every function in this program. In the status line at the bottom of the screen some of them are shown. An important one is the F10 key. With this key you can use the menu at the top of the screen. Use the arrow keys to move around in the menu, and press or to select an item. Behind the text in the menu items you will notice more keyboard equivalents. By pressing the specified key you can bypass the menu next time. Whenever you are in a dialogbox, you can switch between the items in the dialog by pressing or .
