Yes, in Harbour/xHarbour. There are even RDDs that will allow
you to do SQL, you can do OLE and have Word/Excel/IE (or
OpenOffice) as your front end, read/tweak the registry, use some
of the OOP you learned, do standard Windows visual interface, and
run on Linux.
No other language that I know of is so stable that people are
just now whining that Vista doesn't do DOS full screen, otherwise
it seems like they'd never even know.
You can still buy Clipper 5.3, and linkers still advertise
Clipper compatibility.
And the dbf file structure still lives on in Graphical
Information Systems (GIS) combined graphical/data structures
(ESRI products for example).
