The World Of dBASE (1984) [video]
I'd never heard of Harbor (https://harbour.github.io/), thanks!
I still work on software that started out in dBase II in 1986 or so, then went to FoxBase+ when I started in 1988, then Foxpro and now Visual Foxpro.

Some of the error messages produced by Apple's MPW C compiler (2006)
I learned to program on various dBase languages. That Clipper 5 preprocessor was quite the thing! It reminds me of https://research.swtch.com/shmacro but it met a real need, lowering a COBOL-like syntax to a C/Pascal-like one.
(dBase code looks like https://github.com/harbour/core/blob/master/tests/ntx.prg , and https://github.com/harbour/core/blob/master/include/std.ch is an open-source reimplementation of Clipper's preprocessor definitions).

Terminal cataloging/database application
You basically want clipper isn’t it? I just realized there’s an open source version now!

PureBasic switches to a C backend
I understand what you say but FPC and Harbour just show that writing portable c code is actually possible...

Microsoft's FoxPro 2.5 Is Fast and Easy to Use (1993)
Quick shoutout to xHarbour and Harbour - the open-source, commercially-supported versions of Clipper. https://github.com/harbour/core
The projects are still going strong and many years ago I had ported a huge Clipper project into Harbour and had it working well across a 20 node network with both Clipper and Harbour binaries working simultaneously on the same database.
These days every time I make another web application I wish for the simplicity of xBase. But there is some core truth about application development hidden there that is lost to me now.
