I don't think they made it themselves. Fivewin is still out there, and xbase++ is out there too. Fivewin was from Omicron Software, and Xbase++ from Alaska Software.

As far as Visual Objects, I still remember a BB argument I had with a guy back in 1997. I told him that at that time, I couldn't afford the 3 thousand or so it was going to set me back to go south for the 1st Conference. He tried to argue that I couldn't possibly afford not to go - that Visual Objects was the future of windows data software.

VO is still around, they're still putting out new versions (up to 2.6 now - over a 6 year period?), and they're still having conferences, but I can't recall ever coming up against a VO written piece of software as competition, so while I imagine stuff is being done with it, I don't honestly know what that might be. And after the way CA treated it's clipperheads when they introduced it, I don't much care either.
