Release Notes: C7.3.7900 – Fixes/Features/Changes
In Version 7.3 the naming convention used for Clarion DLLs and LIBs is no longer version specific. Now in 7.3 we use a prefix of “CLA” for all of our binaries. This post explains more details: http://clarionsharp.com/blog/2010/12/clarion-7-3-pre-release/
