What is a .CLP file?
CLP files contain source code written in Clipper, a programming language used to develop database applications, particularly those built around the dBASE database format. The code defines program operations such as retrieving records, processing business data, displaying menus, and generating reports. Clipper was especially popular for DOS-based business software, including inventory, accounting, and customer-management systems.
You might encounter CLP files while maintaining an older business application, recovering source code from a legacy DOS project, or examining database management software. They may be stored alongside database files, compiled program files, and other source code in an application's development folder. File Viewer Plus can open, edit, and save CLP files, making it useful for reviewing or modifying Clipper source code.
