XDemo()
This program installs three small programs that demonstrate the differences in xBase++ programs compiled in basic mode (straight Clipper 5.2 conversion), the same program converted to GUI using xBase 1.90 and eXpress++ 1.90, and the same program compiled in xBase 1.90 not in GUI mode. Included are also an uninstall procedure, a program to view the source code, and all the source code.

This function, if placed at the beginning of a program, will save the beginning screen and colors to static variables. It also sets century and epoch, solving the Y2K problem. The next time it is executed, it restores the information saved to static Variables, restores the beginning screen, and quits the application with the DOS errorlevel of your choice.
