    Does anybody like V O?

    No, nobody likes VO. It's not just that it's a hideously slow, unweildy abortion of a product, it's also that even a mid-size program developed with VO will GPF on a fairly regular basis. No serious developers who aren't stuck with VO because of legacy applications are using it today. As I see...

    Large DBFs

    To be honest, we don't have too many files using CDX RDDs, but our main CDX dbf hit the wall much earlier. We found it necessary to start archiving at around 386,000 records (which was only 79Mb!) -- You should note that we had 4 tags in the CDX in question. We hear rumours that the COMIX RDDs...

    They told you that Media Player and Winamp are written in C and *NOT* Clipper Summer '87?!? Really?!? Have you ever considered that someone may be pulling your leg?

    Can Clipper play MP3's?

    Not sure. My best guess is that they used the __TurnOld16BitDosProgramInto32BitWindowsProgram() function. You do have that in your collection of 3rd party functions don't you?

    Can Clipper play MP3's?

    In case you were tempted to dismiss this question out of hand let me tell you that it's a little known fact that both Microsoft's Windows Media Player and Winamp are written entirely in Clipper Summer '87! Yes, with a little effort you too can write your own dynamic media applications which will...
