The URL is: ftp://ftp.itk.ru/pub/clip/clip-prg-0.99-6.tgz Summary of the freshmeat announcement: "CLIP is a Clipper/XBase compatible compiler with initial support for FoxPro, Flagship, and CAVO syntax. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and Win32 (via Cygwin). It features support for international languages and character sets, including two-bytes character sets like Chinese and Japanese. It also features OOP, a multiplatform GUI based on GTK/GTKextra, all SIX/Comix features (including hypertext indexing), SQL, a C-API for third-party developers, a few wrappers for popular libraries (such as BZIP, GZIP, GD, Crypto, and Fcgi), multitasking, mouse events, and more."
