I'm aware that what I look is not very common. Sometimes I see a threat about 
xBase/2 which seems to interesting to some of us. But when I mension OnCmd, 
nobody knows and hardly cares, although this product seems to be simular to 
xBase/2, with one big difference: it's out in the field. You'd expect the 
same people with interrest in xBase/2 would welcome a concurent development 
environment which also uses clipper-syntaxes. At least I do, but I don't have 
the time right now to buy a version and test it within 31 days before I 
deside to keep it or send it back.

Well, I guess I expected too much from this echo. Then again, you can always 
try.

I'm still waiting for a Clipper-alike programming environment in OS/2. But 
prehaps I take my change with xBase/2 or OnCmd when there is some time to see 
if its suitable for me.
Best regards,
Vincent.
