    Hi everyone.

    Is anyone familiar with the above software and able to tell me if it produced Clipper source code or C source code.

    Thanks,

    This says it was Clipper code. https://github.com/ibarrar/clipper/blob/master/BLINKER3/3RDPARTY.TXT

    But I can find nothing more, and I have no experience with it. Atlas Software does show up a few times, with database / XLS development tools.

    Thanks David.

    I don't see how you concluded that it produces "Clipper code" from a statement that its compiled code can be handled by the Blinker linker... unless I have missed something.

    ... since it is fully integrates with Clipper in this fashion, it must generate Clipper source code, even if it resolves as "UDFs" into its own libraries.

    I may be wrong.
