Harbour is a software solution whose purpose is to aid people in compiling the xBase superset language, referred to as Clipper (CA-Cl*pper in Harbour documents). It is backwards compatible with almost all versions of the Clipper code.

The installation process does not take very long seeing it does not pose any kind of issues, such as changing web browser settings or downloading third-party products.

This tool comes packed with a command line interface, which means that it is most novice users might encounter difficulties when trying to find their way around it. Nevertheless, you should know that comprehensive documentation is available online and all throughout the program files, which can help you in understanding it better.

This program works on several operating systems, including Windows (32 and 64 bits), Linux and Mac OSX, while it is also an open-source project and can help people in creating other apps, be they free or commercial.

In addition to that, Harbour supports RDDs (Replaceable Database Drivers) so that you can use multiple data sources which allows an application to scale.

You should also know that it comes packed with a large number of examples, dedicated to both power users and beginners, so that you can figure it out easier.

CPU and memory usage is low at all times, which means that Harbour is not going to put a strain on the system’s performance, and the response time is quite good.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say that Harbour is an efficient and reliable piece of software, dedicated to those interested in compiling apps in Clipper.
