I am a personal fan of Alaska XBase

They are beta testing a RAD version of it now.

If you are a current Clipper programmer you may want to look for the TopDown library for it.

You can write the code just like you did in Clipper (@.. Say.. Get.. etc..) and the topdown library will convert it to windows style forms.

Also it is practically 100% clipper compatible. Some of the libraries you currently use may have to be changed, but we converted very easily.

Richard,

How is Alaska'a stability nowadays. I gave up a few years ago as I just could not trust it. A bit like Windows XP, it'll be nice when it's finished. Ian Boys

With the newest version (1.8) most of the previous bugs and speed concerns have been fixed. It still has the same problem as clipper about memory leakage if you are not careful with your variables. But it has came a long way. I have tried the beta of v2.0 It (v2.0) has a fully intergrated IDE and supports R.A.D. so it seems that it will be moving its way up the ranks soon.

I have seen some applications created in it that you would not believe it was an X-Base application. After the release of 2.0 I would reccomend looking back into it.

I would be willing to say it is 100% compatible with your clipper code. Like I had previously stated, you will have to get 32bit versions of the libraries that you are using, but other than that I love it.
