>>>Yeah! But how hard would it be to duplicate its functionality and call it VisualWolfPro or something like that. Functionality cannot be copyrighted. Look at xBase if you think duplicating FoxPro would be difficult. xBase expropriated all the Clipper programmers when Computer Associates bought then torpedoed Clipper. Anyone who can tell the difference between xBase and Clipper 4 has got better vision than I.

Hey, Ed.

The quote doesn't make sense when interpreted that way. I think he is referring to:

Xbase++ is a comprehensive development package for database solutions from Alaska Software.

Xbase++ is fully compatible with Clipper 5.2 on the language level. This allows for easy migration of existing Clipper solutions to the modern GUI world of Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 and OS/2.
