Clipper is a programming language and development environment that was originally created for database management and application development on the DOS operating system. It allows developers to create software applications that can manage, manipulate, and query databases efficiently.
About Clipper
Clipper was created in 1985 by Nantucket Corporation to provide a powerful tool for developing database applications on the DOS operating system. It gained popularity for its ability to compile dBase code into executable files, offering enhanced performance and functionality.
Clipper's strengths included efficient database management, robust performance, and ease of use for developing DOS-based applications. Its weaknesses were limited graphical capabilities and dependency on the DOS environment. Competitors included dBase, FoxPro, and Paradox.
