CA-Visual Objects includes class libraries, based on its recent aquisition of Glockenspiel Inc’s CommonView software, which support graphical user interface and database functions. A program repository with application and class browsers, Xbase compiler, an integrated development environment and extensions to the Clipper programming language. The software also features reusable object technology and migration paths for legacy code to objects.
