Welcome to
The Harbour Project!

Harbour is a free software compiler for the xBase superset language often referred to as Clipper (the language that is implemented by the compiler CA-Clipper).

Harbour is a cross platform compiler and is known to compile and run on MS-DOS, MS-Windows, OS/2, GNU/Linux and Mac OSX.

The main advantage Harbour has over other Clipper compilers is that it is free software. Harbour also attempts to remove some of the limits imposed by the base implementation but the extent of this will depend on your chosen platform.

Most importantly, try Harbour for yourself, decide for yourself why it has advantages for you.
