Actually, I've never seen any of the EB-Clipper products.  There
are three implementations that I know of...

Yours.
Bill French's (Global Technologies).
BabelFish Libraries by SuccessWare.

I happen to have a flyer for the BabelFish libraries here; neither of
the others have become commercial products as far as I know.
The flyer doesn't have many details, but is does mention plans
to do Fox-EB and Clipper-SQL libraries.  It mentions an introductory
price of $99 and the phone number is 714-699-9657.

I don't have any real contact with the SuccessWare folks; they are nice
people and have called to ask questions a few times, but I don't know
much about their products.  This flyer isn't recent - I think I got it
at the last November COMDEX - so call for info.
