2.1. What is Harbour?

Harbour is a free software compiler for the xBase superset language often referred to as Clipper (the language that is implemented by the compiler CA-Clipper). Harbour's chosen base implementation is, for the moment, the 5.2e version of CA-Clipper. This isn't to say that the additions found in 5.3 won't make it into Harbour, it simply reflects the fact that many Clipper programmers see 5.2e as the "last best" implementation of Clipper.

If the 5.3 extensions to the language are important to you please feel free to contribute to the project.
