I'm seriously considering jumping in with Clipper 5.0.  I've used
it for a mild application and I like it.  I'd appreciate hearing
from you on the negatives and any undocumented positives.  
Is there a tradeoff because it is royalty free.  Or is it as good
as the FOX products, for instance.  I know about the installation
bugs, personally.  I've heard the SET RELATION has problems, so I've
avoided it so far.  And most importantly, what about the people behind
the product - are they sales or R&D dominated?  Do they make their 
release dates and how is their technical support.  

I thank you.
