TO ALL FOXPRO, DBASE, RBASE, PARADOX, ARAGO, QUICKSILVER, AND FORCE DEVELOPERS:
===============================================================================
From now until March 31st, 1993 you can order a competitive
upgrade of your current FoxPro, dBASE (III or IV), rBASE,
Paradox, ARAGO, Quicksilver, or Force development system to
CA-Clipper 5.2 for only $199 (US); $225 (CDN)? That's a savings of
over $590 (US) over the regular suggest list price of
Computer Associates' CA-Clipper compiler.
IN ADDITION... From now until March 31, 1993 Computer Associates
is offering you your choice of any one of the following
products... CA Tools III (aka: Nantucket Tools III), CA-DBFAST,
or the CA-CLIPPER/COMPILER KIT FOR DBASE IV (aka: Matt Whelan's
Compiler) for an additional $50 (US).
Any one of these additional items may be ordered at the time you
send in your CA-Clipper 5.2 Competitive Upgrade Registration
Card directly from Computer Associates.
NOW IS THE TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR CURRENT DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM TO
CA-CLIPPER 5.2!
New features on Clipper 5.2 include:
* DOS Memory Barriers Shattered -
Virtual Memory Management (VMM) has been significantly
enhanced, and lets you address up to 64 megabytes of memory
(compared to the old 8MB limit) with faster access.
* New, Enhanced RDDs -
Now CA-Clipper can read and modify data from dBASE IV, FoxPro,
Paradox, and other programs transparently. The new NTX driver
has an improved locking feature to speed up multiuser
applications and a "hook" is available to provide an index
progress meter.
* Enhanced Source-Level Debugger -
Perhaps the best in the industry, this powerful tool tracks
down errors quickly and intelligently.
* Dramatically Improved Documentation -
This was a big request among developers. The first major
documentation update since 1989 provides far greater detail and
makes for unparalleled ease of use. There's also an excellent
tutorial for novice users.
* Documented APIs for Advanced Features -
Programs writtin in C, Pascal or Assembler can use
CA-Clipper's VMM for superior memory management and there's an
API for the RDDs as well, so you can create your own.

Competitive upgrades are available to all current FOXPRO, DBASE,
