Here I put an excerpt of what CA says about VO:

CA-Visual Objects is a fully object-oriented 32-bit
devel-opment environment for creating sophisticated business
applications and components that run under Microsoft
Windows 95, 98, and NT operating systems. CA-Visual
Objects couples the flexibility and ease-of-use of object
programming with powerful visual development tools
and repository-based application management. Its
intuitive design and native code Xbase language enable
the development of feature-rich client/server and
Internet applications.
