Just amazing and proving that anything so great, was started in a small and simple way!
East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

Si, mi padre me enseño hace pocos tres libros de Clipper que el utilizo cuando estudiaba en la Universidad, en verdad es una maravilla de programa, Uno de ellos que no esta muy bueno y otros dos si de Rick Spence. Creo que si hace falta un libro de HMG, ya que en los trayectos de escuela trabajo siempre voy leyendo y prefiero hacerlo en un libro que en una Laptop o tablet. Viva CLIPPER.

Very interesting reading!

I've recalled great memories about my feelings regarding the amazing speed that my dBaseIII+ programs got and all contained IN A STANDALONE EXE!!!

Thanks!
Regards/Saludos,

Roberto

In addition to speed and self-contained .exe, comfort of providing to users ( no read / modify able ) programs runs without need any other installed software :arrow:
