Hello...

I'm looking for any information that people can give me about 
Clipper.  We're a small dp shop that programs in C, using Informix
C ISAM for database calls.  Now, our corporate offices have asked 
us to look into the possibility of using Clipper instead.

How good is Clipper?  I've heard that Clipper is hard to maintain.
Is that true?

Would we still be able to interface with our C programs?  How 
easily?

How flexible is Clipper?  Is there a port for unix?

Lots of questions... I'd appreciate *any* information.  I'd
really like an email address for somebody who uses Clipper
that we can talk to.  Any takers? :)

Thanks in advance.

Chris
