J1183-9 is a part of the Harbour project, an open source programming language and software development environment for developing projects for Windows, Mac, Linux, and embedded systems. It is based on xHarbour, the open source version of the popular Clipper compiler and is designed to be an industrial-strength replacement for the existing Clipper compiler. It can be used to develop database-driven applications, with an extensive set of tools for creating database-driven applications for Windows, Mac, Linux, and other embedded systems. J1183-9 is a commercial add-on library of Harbour routines that provides additional features. These features aid developers in creating powerful database-driven applications more efficiently. The library includes routines for creating indexes, file management, string manipulation, threading, networking, SQL database connectivity, and encryption.
