The application which is considered to be the 'root' - that which has 'Generate template globals and ABC's as EXTERNAL' switched OFF - should automatically compile and link the Xplore.CLW and XploreRt.CLW source files. There have been reports of this not happening. If you encounter this variation check your .RED file and make sure the Xplore.INC and XploreRt.INC files are in the \LIBSRC directory. This application will create a 'root' DLL and LIB files.

The developer must add the Xplore global extension and any Xplore procedure templates to any application that requires Xplore functionality. These applications (DLL or EXE) must have the 'Generate template globals and ABC's as EXTERNAL' switched ON.  The developer must also add a module to these applications to reference the 'root' LIB file, by going to Menu; Application; Insert Module; select ExternalDLL and then name the root.LIB file in the module name. NOTE: If this is not done you will get a multitude of Linker errors for Xplore.
