[»] my experience with clip
by Ideafix - Aug 27th 2005 16:50:50

basic clipper and dbf functions are very good, but there are some new areas that present small problems (sql, non-clipper datatypes provided for compatibility with other dialects) and other areas that are simply incomplete (gtk2 support).

My only problema was to learn how mature each area and library is. I had to learn from trying...

Otoh, small bug fixes were easy to implement, the internals are understandable by just studying the code.

I think clipper is the best language to write text-mode full screen data entry programs. and clip is the best tool I could find. Thanks.

[»] It's amazing!
by Ernesto - May 28th 2005 11:07:39

Dear Clip Team

i just want to tell how wondered i'm from this product. I'm now in the testing phase, but i think that the next thing i will do is to buy a commercial license. Great job!

Many thanks for bringing Clipper alive again!

[»] CGI programming
by Silver - May 11th 2004 07:15:23

Clip is a very nice alternative for writing CGI applications under Linux with apache.
Unfortunately i can't find any examples in the docs,
so i don't know how to handle gets and posts. :(

    Otimo artigo, incentiva o uso da linguagem, bem como demonstra os passos basicos para a instalacao, quero tambem dizer-lhes que estou trabalhando em um projeto com o CLIP e o POSTGRESQL, esta bom pra comecar e acho que vai otimo essa parceria.

[»] Fast and reliable
by DJ Anubis - Feb 13th 2004 00:19:05

I tried the Clip. Very powerful andmostly reliable, except
some gtk stuff.

Now trying to port on my ia64 machine. Not so easy. Maybe
I'll have to post some patches for this architecture.

On ia32, works smoothly and efficiently. Good job.

[»] CLIP is very nice
by Genesys - Nov 18th 2003 09:01:20

Hello
Congratulations for CLIP language.
I was finding a tool like it.
The single way to make programs plus a powerfull Sql conections
I´ll install and check it in Suse distro
I have a very experience xbase in Brazil and worked for assistant tester in language MAX and MSP from Plugsys Inc. in USA. But Plugsys turn-off the project in World.

How I create a clip-postgres ? The command "make local" not instaled it, just cli-odbc

[»] Finally a real Linux Clipper Compiler
by marco bernardi - Oct 16th 2003 08:49:56

more than one year ago I decide to find a way to migrate my program to other operating system other than MS-DOS.

I have tried FlagShip : just I remember that was necessary one month to convince developers that there was a bug in the macro compiler. After that the training period expire and FlagShip company delete any other possibility to continue my test ! In any way it was enough to understand than FlagShip is a lot slower that CLIP.

I have tried xBase++ : RDD doesn' t have possiblity to use WHILE clause in index creation !!!! That lock any possibility to create efficient programs. I ask to them to insert such facility ...... one year passed ... nothing done !!!!
Of course exist also other bugs: it is slow !!!.

I have tried Harbour : try to comunicate a bug to them and let me know if somebody will answer you.

MAX : it is fast but unfortunately it is not Clipper 5.2 compatible.

At the end I discover CLIP !
1) It works very fast
2) Any problem is solved very fast (sometimes 60 minutes !)
3) My programs works like in Clipper but, of course, in a better operating system !

Clip people, you are doing a great job !

    Hey Marco ! Now I know how you translate your DOS software to linux :-PPP I hope all work fine and I hope I could help you making some tests.

The CLIP-guys did a perfect job. The email support is fantastic! The C-inteface is better than the Original.
