The Oasis is a Clipper Programmers Source Code Archive / Phil Barnett.
Abstract: The Oasis is the largest and best maintained file archive for CA-Clipper and xBase on the web, and is still growing! The Oasis is created specifically for Clipper programmers to satisfy their need for demo's, utilities, Clipper source code, patches and libraries. The Oasis evolved from the FIDO filebone, additions from FIDO message bases, messages from the internet comp.lang.clipper newsgroup, my personal source code and utility donations and other programmers donations directly into the site.

Abstract: Object Oriented Database Toolbox fore Turbo Pascal 6.0 Utilizing dBASE Compatible Data Files. Allows you to access, index, search, read and write database files that were created with dBASE III or III Plus, using 75+ Turbo Pascal procedures and functions written specifically for these purposes, and implementing object-oriented techniques. This toolbox supports multiple data files and associated indexes (NOT dBASE INDEXES !) limited only by available memory and file handles allowed by DOS. Index keys can be up to 254 characters, and can be composed of multiple fields or expressions which evaluate to a string not longer than 254 characters.

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.

This product provides C and C++ programmers a class and function library
for manipulating Xbase type datafiles and indices.
XBase DBMS currently includes routines to support multi-user access for
.DBF databases, fields, Dbase IV memo fields (variable length fields),
dates, record and file locking and indexes (.NDX). There is also an HTML
user interface class which works well with the Apache Web Server. Future
releases will support filters, enhanced .MDX index files, transaction
support, Dbase III memo fields, a client server configuration, secure
data options and other enhancements requesteed by anyone using this
library.

Some dBASE Stuff / Gary White
This is my dBASE stuff. It ranges from old stuff for the DOS versions of dBASE to new stuff for Visual dBASE version 7. There's even some stuff that's non-version-specific. You'll also find links to some other very good sites. Don't forget the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions), which is included in a site search.
