 Seems like nice and usefull Clipper programmers utility. Let authors say
 what is the purpose of this program:

 Clip is the command-line compiler driver that Nantucket should have written
 for Clipper.  Instead, we got CL.BAT and (with Clipper 5.0) RMAKE.  The
 first only works for simple programs composed of a single module, and the
 second (while powerful) is confusing and requires a lot of work to use.

 Clip comes somewhere between the two.  It was inspired by the compiler
 drivers included with most C compilers (like CL.EXE with Microsoft C, or
 "cc" with UNIX C compilers).  Originally, our intent was to provide a
 single command that would compile and link one or more Clipper source
 modules, optionally along with other object files and third-party
 libraries.

 Clip is not a compiler or linker; it's just a program that RUNS compilers
 and linkers.  Obviously, you must have those other programs before you can
 run them.  So, at very least you'll need a copy of Clipper (Summer '87 or
 5.0) and a linker.
