Clipper was created by a company named Nantucket, and later sold to Computer Associates[?].
As of this writing (2003), the language has not been updated in several years but is still actively used, and many variants are being created, such as [[Xbase++]] and Harbour.

 Hello World In Many Programming Languages
If you are confused about whether or not your selected language is a programming language take this easy test to determine it: if it is possible to modify the program to print the greeting ten times without duplicating code, then it most likely is a programming language.
This program appears to orginate from http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/algol/hworld.html which indicates that the program was written for a Burroughs/Unisys A-series mainframe, and that it has not been tested due to an inability to locate such a machine or a compatible compiler.
Loading the program subsequently brings up: "Hello, World!" Individuals will quibble over this relentlessly, saying, "It's not the same!" I can only agree that it's not the same, but that was my point about the languages and their environments in the first place.
