If you can find books by Rick Spense or Steve Straley (although *not* Straley's
Programming In Clipper (c) 1987 (because it was written when Summer '87 just
came out, and 5.0 was unheard of.) you'll be in good shape.  If you're a dBASE
programmer then any of the magazines mentioned in a previous post would help;
my recommendation is Reference(Clipper) - additionally, Straley publishes a
newsletter called From the Desk of Steve Straley.  It's a biweekly, with code
and code fragments in Clipper (now in Clipper 5.0) every issue.  Address is:

       Four Seasons Publishing Co., Inc.
       P.O. Box 20025
       New York, NY  10017-0001

       Subscription costs are $80/year.

I've found that the best reference materials (assuming that you're a dBASE
programmer) are just Nantucket's sample code and the manuals.  What kind of
stuff are you looking to program?  If you have any particular questions, post
or e-mail me (b39y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu), OK?
