Andy, I was there on contract for 3 months at the time they moved from Clipper 3 over to Foxpro. Unfortunately Clipper 5 arrived too late as in my oppinion it would have been a better platform. I worked for a guy called John Goodwin who tried to convert me to RM Cobol. It was OK but just so long winded. At least the Microfocus Cobol offering matured (and is still there I think) to include rudimentary OOPS.
However the good 'ole Fox has stood the test of time so maybe they were correct after all.
