>Hi have seem a few mission critical applications running in Clipper 86 ;)

We have one of those!

(compiling a Clipper app is fast as all get out on modern hardware!)

One of my co-workers is madly at work on custom utilities that will bring the last of our Clipper/DOS customers up to the VFP version of our app. And we have one client that swears they'll never budge.

People stick with what works.
