CLIP
CLIP is a Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support other xBase dialects. It features support for international languages and character sets. It also features OOP, a multiplatform GUI based on GTK/GTKextra, all SIX/Comix features (including hypertext indexing), SQL and ODBC drivers, a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), a multitasking client and application server based on TCP/IP sockets, object data base utilities, and a functions library.

Recent commentsmy experience with clip
basic clipper and dbf functions are very good, but there are some new areas that present small problems (sql, non-clipper datatypes provided for compatibility with other dialects) and other areas that are simply incomplete (gtk2 support).
My only problema was to learn how mature each area and library is. I had to learn from trying...
Otoh, small bug fixes were easy to implement, the internals are understandable by just studying the code.
I think clipper is the best language to write text-mode full screen data entry programs. and clip is the best tool I could find. Thanks.
It's amazing!
Dear Clip Team
i just want to tell how wondered i'm from this product. I'm now in the testing phase, but i think that the next thing i will do is to buy a commercial license. Great job!
Many thanks for bringing Clipper alive again!

Otimo artigo, incentiva o uso da linguagem, bem como demonstra os passos basicos para a instalacao, quero tambem dizer-lhes que estou trabalhando em um projeto com o CLIP e o POSTGRESQL, esta bom pra comecar e acho que vai otimo essa parceria.
