Compliance

Object Oriented syntax in Harbour is compatible with CA-Cl*pper.

However CA-Cl*pper only allowed creation of objects from a few standard classes, and did not let the programmer create new classes.

In Harbour, you can create your own classes–complete with Methods, Instance Variables, Class Variables and Inheritance. Entire applications can be designed and coded in Object Oriented style.
