=== Clipper Tools ===
After buying Nantucket, along with the standard Clipper [[Library (computing)|library]], CA developed another, named ''Clipper Tools''. Three versions of this library were released, alongside Clipper versions. This library became a de facto standard among Clipper clones, such as xHarbour. It was also cloned by several of Clipper's clones.
