I had this subject programming languages that our professor wanted us
to report about the History of Xbase, and make a program out of XBASE.
But, I found only very little resources on Xbase.. I couldn't even
understand how to program it and worst i don't have the compiler for
Xbase.. Can anyone here help me or teach me how to use Xbase and
help me find a compiler for Xbase <DOS mode, not the virtual one>.

Another question: Is Xbase same with dBase...? what's the
difference...? Can i program the code of dBase in an Xbase
compiler...?

"xBASE" was a term coined to refer to all dBASE and dBASE-derived
DBMSs. (This was at a time when Ashton-Tate was getting overly picky
over their trademark.)

Various xBASEs are available NOW. Earlier this month, Microsoft
released the beta version of Visual FoxPro 9.0. You can download it
from:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro/letters/

For historical xBASEs, try searching for data on "dBASE",
"FoxBASE", and "Clipper".

If you want to know about dBase, get the info you need from dBase.

You could try www.dBase.com
Or the dBase newsgroup at news://news.dbaseTalk.com
