>Clipper *was* a great tool, if you forget about that entire 5.0 debacle...

I don't think like you. Clipper was so popular because of make .EXE file and it's powerful browse equivalent (I can't remember this command name) command. But clipper was so so slowly from Foxbase and it had not a command promt. And plus it was trouble with big .dbf files. So than I preffered Foxbase...
