Third Party Tools

If you have particular products that you want available, please call the manufacturers of the Clipper versions and tell them that you want it. The delay in many cases is that these manufacturers do not beleive that a big enough market exists in Unix to be worth their time... or make it a priority, however enough calls will convince them otherwise.  Please also write us a message so that we can bring pressure to bear with the numbers of requests we recieve.

For you programmers capable of creating products:  This is an opportunity to create a product that is the eqivalent of a good seller in the Clipper world, and dominate the Unix market for this product before others do.

If you have a product, and wish for it to be listed here, please let us know, and submit a short description of approx. 3-5 lines to be posted here, in addition to a product info containing the name, address, phone number & email address of the author and web page if available. Attach source files in .tgz (.tar.gz) format when your product is OpenSource or free-of-charge. For commercial products, only the short & product descriptions are sufficient. Send it via e-mail to ThirdParty@flagship.de
Of course, you will benefit too by an advanced tech support.

This short listing is available via Web browser, the description and demos (or sources) as they become available if they are of commercial quality, will be put on our FTP server and CD-ROM.
