I have developed several applications with Clipper (S'87).  Now I get
the feeling that I need to switch to another compiler (Don't ask, I 
seem to get this feeling regularly ;-)

I was wondering whether anyone has tried porting Clipper programs
to FoxPro and how much work is involved.

I am also wondering if FoxPro 2.0 is out (price?)

And finally, Iceland has som special characters so I need to be able
to tell FoxPro how to sort using the Icelandic alphabet.  Could this
be a problem (Clipper handles this perfectly).

Thanks in advance,

Petur
