Introduction


Preprocessor
Fully compatible with CA-Clipper with some new possibilities.
Compiler
slight incompability with CA-Clipper, which may be resolved easily, using the "search and replace" method. In addition it can compile to C program, byte-code, dynamic library and mixed C+byte-code.
Very fast and efficient OO-model
Difference from CA-Clipper reveals itself in part of descriptions and making an object, but in part of using the ready objects syntax and logic of functioning is completely the same.
It is possible to write programs on CLIP, without using other syntax excepting OOP.
Initial support syntax from FS,CAVO,FoxPro.
C-API
has much more possibilities than CA-Clipper.
Full international support
Including adjustment on any code page of any language on any keyboard (with stelnet emulator only or on consoles), substitution of string constants during execution and changing a logic of functioning with strings, given for functions alpha, digit, lower, upper, subscripted weight factors etc.
Support two-bytes charsets BIG5,GB , may be Korean,Japan too.
GUI, based on GTK
Provides using of all widgets and processing the events
Using of dynamic libraries,
loading and execution of the byte-code from external files ( in run-time, too ).
Compatibility
Multitask support
SQL
Other possibilities
Supported OS'es
linux, freebsd, openBsd, SPARC & x86 solaris, IBM mainframe with TurboLinux, Win32 ( with CYGWIN development tools)
TODO list
