On 2009 Harbour was substantially redesigned, mainly by Viktor Szakáts and Przemyslaw Czerpak. Harbour is a synonym for port (where ship docks), and Harbour is a port of the Clipper language. The name "Harbour" is a play on a Clipper as a type of ship. Antonio Linares founded the Harbour project and the implementation was started. The idea of a free software Clipper compiler had been floating around for a long time and the subject has often cropped up in discussion on. Harbour code using the same databases can be compiled under a wide variety of platforms, including DOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, Unix variants, several BSD descendants, Mac OS X, MINIX 3, Windows CE, Pocket PC, Symbian, iPhone, QNX, VxWorks, OS/2/eComStation, BeOS/ Haiku, AIX. It is a modernized, open sourced and cross-platform version of the older and largely DOS-only Clipper system, which in turn developed from the dBase database market of the 1980s and 90s. Harbour is a modern computer programming language, primarily used to create database/business programs.
