There is a fantastic market for your Clipper or Xbase application
                        in the UNIX marketplace
                     and FlagShip can take you there.
                 FlagShip is YOUR passport to UNIX PROFITS !!!

  FlagShip brings Clipper and Xbase applications into the UNIX world.
  Clipper programs can now be easily ported to UNIX and any of its
  derivatives.

  Now, Clipper databases can be developed for professional applications in
  UNIX just as millions have been developed for DOS.  You can develop your
  code once, and then compile and sell it on many different platforms.  You
  can bet that now that Novell has bought USL, UNIX will become a major
  marketing phenomenon, and SCO is already a resounding success in most
  areas.  If you have character based applications that are not ready for
  windows yet, so much the better. FlagShip will let you get more mileage out
  of them.  Although UNIX has great Windowing available, most customers have
  not yet come to expect windows as they do in the DOS world.

  CLIPPER COMPATIBLE FlagShip Release 4.0 is fully source code compatible
  with Clipper 5.01x, Clipper Summer '87, FoxBase+ and dBASE III+.  It is
  also compatible with many FoxPro and dBASE IV programs and databases.
  Clipper source code, .DBF and .DBT files can be ported to UNIX via a simple
  file transfer without changes.  Because you know Clipper you are already an
  expert on FlagShip.

  PRODUCES C SOURCE CODE In the process of compiling Xbase files, FlagShip
  creates C source code.  It then uses the UNIX native C compiler to create
  new and true executable files.  You may also use FlagShip to turn your
  Xbase applications, into C.  The Extend-System of Clipper is fully emulated
  as well. Even high order DOS ANSI characters are automatically mapped to
  characters a UNIX terminal can display.
  
  UNIX ADVANTAGES When the power of Clipper is enhanced by the advantages of
  UNIX, the result is an incredibly powerful application, and development
  environment.  Imagine your applications running with no practical RAM
  limitations in a true multi-user, multi-tasking and even multi-processing
  environment that has superior communication/networking capabilities!!!
  Also the per user cost of UNIX systems from three to several hundred users
  is substantially lower than DOS PC Networks, allowing the customer to spend
  more on the application itself!!!
  
  USE AND LICENSING:  Separate FlagShip compilers can be purchased for each
  of a number of different UNIX derivatives.  The applications generated by
  each compiler are unique to the type of UNIX the compiler is designed for.
  Each compiler is also purchased with one of three different developer
  licenses which allow applications to be compiled for use in either one,
  four, or unlimited user environments.  There is a one-time developer
  license fee for each of the different FlagShip compilers.  There are NO
  additional run time fees.

  UNIX COMPATIBILITY The standard FlagShip compiler is shipped on 3.5" floppy
  disks and is compatible with SCO/UNlX 3.2.2 and higher.  An additional C
  compiler and linker such as the one, normally included in the UNIX
  development system is required.  FlagShip is also available for other UNIX
  derivatives such as UNIVEL, AIX, A/UX, ULTRIX, HP/UX, SunOS, SunSoft, and
  Interactive UNIX.  This allows you to maintain common source code between
  DOS (Clipper), and all UNIX versions, and possibly Windows as well if you
  use a portable windowing library toolkit.

  EVALUATION SYSTEM The FlagShip evaluation version is fully functional and
  documented.  It comes with thirty days of unlimited free support and has a
  thirty day run-time limit, The price of the evaluation copy can be credited
  toward the purchase of any FlagShip full Developer License.

  TECHNICAL SUPPORT Telephone, fax and electronic mail support is FREE for
  thirty days after date of purchase of any FlagShip developer license.  An
  ongoing support package which includes unlimited telephone support as well
  as product updates is also available.

  Technical Information and Specifications:

  Only FlagShip enables direct portability of numerous PC database
  applications from DOS to the UNIX Operating System on more than 50
  different platforms.  Investment  and maintenance saving through the
  backward compatibility to DOS is guaranteed.

  FlagShip is a development system, which fully supports the Clipper (and
  most of the dBASE) source code.  The database files .dbt and .dbf are also
  fully compatible to all Xbase dialects on DOS.
