Are you sure you need them? I'm Greek and I've been writing programs using
Greek Language and data in Greek for many years now without using this
object files. However, I have them (Clipper 5.2e), email me if you want me
to send them to you.

If you have fully installed Clipper 5.2 International release, you
can find files msggr437.obj, ntxgr437 in your \Clipper\Obj\
directory.

What kind of support you mean?
There are two .obj which come together with the package offering support for
437 greek code page:
a. MSGGR437.OBJ b. NTXGR437.OBJ
- The first one, (according to the documentation) "lets you change
the default messages that appear in the product. The messages affected by
this are: Days of the Week ( CDOW() function), Months of the Year (CMONTH()
function), LABEL FORM SAMPLES message, REPORT FORM titles, GET System
scoreboard messages, Runtime Errors" (not provided for GR437, AFAIK).
- The second, refers to the collation sequence affecting "the order of your indexes, sort operations, array sorting and string
comparisons." Note that this file is helpful if your application use accented characters for which you want to be placed in the
correct place within the greek alphabet. Also includes support for functions like UPPER(), LOWER(), ISUPPER(), ISLOWER(),
ISALPHA() e.t.c.
You can find these obj files into nat_obj.exe which is an self-extracting zip file normaly placed into your clipper\obj\ directory.

OTOH if you want to display (or print) greek characters in 437 code page (737 for dos 6.2, win95 and later) from within your clipper application, then this is a different case entirely irrelevant to clipper.
(don't hesitate to e-mail me at intotec(remove-this)@otenet.gr if you want more help.)
