There are a number of solid technical reasons to make this change, but the very practical reason is that IPX isn't very well supported anymore.

Migrate to Linux using Harbour! http://www.harbour-project.org I use it. I doubt anything else will compare to Harbour running on Linux :)

For a start, Clipper compiled apps may not run at all being 16 bit applications. If you want to keep your code as predominantly Clipperesque, then either Harbour or xHarbour are your best bet. Both of these are 32bit Windows development tools.
