We are looking for a Clipper-like program for SCO Unix 386. That is, a
program for compiling dbase programs into native executable code. We don't
want something like Foxplus which compiles into interpreted code. This would
be too slow for our purposes. I have heard rumours of Foxplus having a native
code compiler. Can anyone confirm this one way or another? Otherwise, what
other products are available?
Thanks, Jayen.

Clipper is a tokenizing compiler and not a native code compiler. Last native code version was A'86 as far as I recall. tom leylan (ex-Senior Systems Analyst / Nantucket Corporation)
