Versions

• Clipper Summer 87 - Delivered in 1988 - Speed and feature improvements especially in the debugger, mostly rewritten in C using Microsoft C.

• Clipper 5.0 brings with it rudimentary object-oriented extensions to the xBase language.
• Clipper VO v.1.0 - December 1995
• Clipper 5.3, last version delivered as a DOS product, first version that is able to take advantage of a numeric co-processor and DOS Graphic Modes.
