Compliance

Object Oriented syntax in Harbour is compatible with CA-CLIPPER. But Clipper only allowed creation of objects from a few standard classes, and did not let the programmer create new classes. In Harbour, you can create your own classes--complete with Methods, Instance Variables, Class Variables and Inheritance. Entire applications can be designed and coded in Object Oriented style.
