For example, if you wrote a New-Era application (project) that contained three Window Painter programs (3 *.wif files) , you would also have three *.4gl files in addition to three *.4gh as Window Painter generates a .4gl and .4gh each time that you save a Window Painter file. What you would do next is run the *.4gl's through the Source Compiler to produce three *.4go's. Next, you would link all of the 4go files together using the following copy statement copy /b file1.4go+files2.4go+filed3.4go program.4gi Finally, you would run the Application Launcher on the .4gi file. I used this method for a while until my company finally purchased C++. Let me know what you think about New-Era.
