Harbour is a [[open source]] [[cross-platform]] clipper compiler which runs on many operating systems. (DOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux (32,64), Unix (32,64), Mac OS X, Windows CeCE, Pocket PC)

Harbour licenzelicense is GPL with an exception supporting commercial applications, so you can distribuitedistribute commercailcommercial application made with harbourHarbour

It is designed to use and compile Clipper source code, with Classy OOP extessionextension

Unlike Java which is intended to be write once, run anywhere, harbourHarbour's aim to be '''write once, compile anywhere'''. As the same compiler is available for all of the above operating systems, there is no need for recoding to produce identical products for different platforms, except when operating-system-dependent features are used. Cross-compiling is supported with MiniGW32.

Under Microsoft Windows harbourHarbour is more stable but less well-documented than Clipper, but has multi-platform capability and is more transparent, customizable and can run from a USB flash drive.

Under Linux, Clipper source code can be compiled with harbour Harbour with a little adaptation.

Clipper source code can be adapted to compile under Window Mobile
