Eagle dBASE-like dialect bundled with Emerald Bay, sold by Migent from 1986-1988, later renamed Vulcan when Wayne Ratliff reacquired the product. Wayne wrote a book ("Emerald Bay: A Guide to Multi-User Applications: The Guide to Multi-user Applications" ISBN: 0132744163) about Emerald Bay.

FlagShip by MultiSoft. FlagShip is an Application Development System for creating database oriented applications, and for porting existing Clipper, Fox, and dBASE applications to UNIX. It is a superset of CA/Clipper 5.2d and therefore fully source and data compatible to it, including macros, codeblocks, objects etc. = "common source code & databases for DOS and UNIX". A great rapid prototyping language strong enough to build industrial strength business applications very quickly.

FlagShip produces native executables (compiles also automatically the .prg sources to .c as an intermediate step). There is no royalty or licensing for software YOU create and distribute. Millions of well trained XBase programmers exist, as well as an active third party market creating applications & libraries.

Force by Sophco (true native code compiler that was reasonable compatible with much dBASE III code)

Genifer Template, by Bytel Corporation: Genifer was an advanced dBASE applications generator for experienced dBASE users. It simplified the process of creating sophisticated applications and was an efficient tool for decreasing application development time. The product generated structured and noted application code that could be modified. Database design features included the ability to set default field values, define table, file, or range validation (including displaying an error message if entry is not valid), and defining dBASE picture formatting.

Genifer wrote dBASE programs by scanning menus, report formats, and data entry screens that were developed with its own text editor or with a word processor. A field-painting character of your choice told Genifer where to place fields. When exiting the text editor or word processor, users could instruct the product where fields were to be created. Genifer was an excellent tool for prototyping applications. It also helped document an application by maintaining a data dictionary that stored information about the databases and the fields, and a layout file that stored all menus, screens, and report layouts. The data dictionary and layout file could be modified and printed. Custom features let you configure Genifer for your own word processor. You could configure the report-page definition and include comments in the dBASE program code or help screens in the application.

Genifer supported a full template language that supports all dialects of dBASE such as Clipper and FoxBASE+. Source: The Probert Encyclopaedia.

Multibase: by Cykic Software. In 1987, Cykic Software was formed. Al Grenier (the former President of American Computer - the prior keeper of the technology) joined forces with Kit Gateley to attempt another push into the increasingly Microsoft-dominated marketplace. Taking advantage of the popularity of dBASE, FoxBASE, and Clipper, the developers created an xBASE compiler integrated into the already multiuser, multitasking, networking OS. This combination became MultiBase. MultiBase was sold for about 7 years as a multi-user option for standard xBASE-compatible applications.

RBase by Microrim. In the mid-80's Microsoft negotiated to merge with Microrim for 25% of Microsoft stock. The deal fell through because Microrim held out for 30%. As a further irony, the basic design of Access was created by a group of ex-Microrim programmers.

Recital (Unix, Xenix, AIX, VMS) by Recital Corporation Since 1988 Recitalâ„¢ Corporation have been helping companies solve the most complex information management challenges in a cost effective manner. With its unique combination of open solution database and development tools for legacy FoxPro, FoxBASE, and Clipper applications, together with its powerful web development products, Recital helps companies turn legacy data and applications into re-usable information assets.

TBBS The Bread Board System bulletin board software, while not exactly a xBase tool, it was a bulletin board system from Colorado that offered database capabilities over dial up bulletin boards. FoxPro like, but more importantly one of the first database online development applications.

A group for use by The Bread Board System (TBBS) DOS-based bulletin board software system operators for technical help and support among system operators and 3rd party vendors, including anything related to TBBS, such the eSoft distributed option modules (QSO, TDBS, TIMS, SYSOM, Interchange, UltraChat) or 3rd party software (PIMP, TDBS applications). The group does not assume any specific experience level, so both the experienced and novice TBBS SysOp will be welcome as well as those who may be looking into the software for evaluation. It will be a TBBS SysOp supported group with no official ties to eSoft Inc., the company that produces and distributes TBBS." Source: ibiblio (the public's library and digital archive).
