There are many free databases following the hierarchic model (as
Berkeley does), GT.M is maybe the best option, there are also small ones
(with other purpose) like SQLite, also free software.

The GT.M project also includes a Mumps compiler and interfaces for 
others languages. It is hosted at SourceForge too:

We will never forget that the use of specific software is always a 
balance between costs and benefits. 
Althought Computer Associated gives Clipper for dead and M$ says
something similar about Visual Fox, M$ had to made new release of Fox
due to presure of several companies with many aplications wroted in 
xBase.

Remember: if something works... don't fix it.

I know many aplications developed in Clipper (a couple from myself) that
fullfills the actual requeriments of many companies today, which don't 
want to change in absolut, because it works for them.

Others are testing and slowly migrating to free compilers for Clipper 
(the language) like [x]Harbour, hosted at SourceForge.
Those compilers provide to old and legacy aplications new life, because
are free (GPL), multiplatform, let reuse tons of code, brings visual
front end, gives access SQL databases (like MySQL), to internet, to 
others technologies as XML, pdf generations, have no memory limits,
works with 32 and 64 bits, etc.
