An open source Clipper

You stumble around the web, looking for random things, and you find stuff you never expected. Just now I was looking up some old friends in Google and found the Harbour Project. Harbour is “a free software compiler for the xBase superset language often referred to as Clipper (the language that is implemented by the compiler CA-Clipper).” I made my living, and a good one at that, for the first half of the ’90s developing Clipper applications for telecoms, pharmaceuticals, and insurance companies back East until the Windows surge became overwhelming and I moved, at management encouragement, to Visual Basic. But there are still people doing Clipper for a living in 2001, otherwise why this project, which appears to have a large number of participants? Really surprising to me, but Computer Associates is still maintaining and selling Clipper! The web remains cool.
