I used Clipper for work and free-lancing (many years back). It is a surprise
that the great Clipper hacker is in this list (actually, as a student nuby,
I myself, am surprised why I'm here in a list full of superprogrammers).

Hi Dave, I stopped programming ten years ago. Maybe ruby and clipper can
resurrect me. I remember clipper has "code blocks", too, right? I do not
know status of clipper now..

Kind regards,
