context_page_description: Clipper is an xBase compiler that implements a variant of the xBase computer programming language. It is used to create
  or extend software programs that originally operated primarily under MS-DOS. Although it is a powerful general-purpose programming
  language, it was primarily used to create database/business programs.
  One major dBase feature not implemented in Clipper is the dot-prompt interactive command set, which was an important part of the original dBase implementation.
  Clipper, from Nantucket Corp and later Computer Associates, started out as a native code compiler for dBase III databases, and later evolved.
context_section_description: The Clipper Usenet newsgroups are comp.lang.clipper and comp.lang.clipper.visual-objects.
