A .CLP file is an early implementation of instructions for the
      Clipper compiler.

      If you are not using .CLP files, you can skip any parts of this
      Norton Guide that refer to .CLP files.

      .CLP files were originally created to help programmers compile all
      of their individual source modules into a single object. Then, the
      supplied linker was used to link the objects with the Clipper
      libraries to create the final output.

      While .CLP files do work, other ways of using your linker
      eliminate the need for such a system, and in fact, the .CLP system
      and single object compiler output stands in the way of saving time
      and having more control.
