2.6. How did Harbour get started?

The idea of a free software Clipper compiler has been floating around for a long time and the subject has often cropped up in discussion on comp.lang.clipper. Actual work to get something developed started early in 1999 when Antonio Linares started a thread to discuss some ideas about developing a Clipper grammar using Lex and Yacc.

The rest, as they say, is history (that history might form the basis of another document should I ever get the time to compile it).
