Generally, nowhere that you can count on. The best advice is to watch forums, bulletin boards, and the newsgroups for offers to transfer a license on a new or used copy. Neither CA nor its major resellers is selling Summer ’87 anymore. EMS Professional Software buys and sells old compilers of all kinds. You’re looking at perhaps USD 179.00 plus shipping from Maryland, USA. They appear to have a few copies of Summer ’87 and 5.2 in stock at most times. Right now (March 1998) you can even get Autumn ’86! For the record, CA does NOT allow free use of Clipper Summer ’87 on the same CPU for which CA-Clipper is already licensed. You really do need to scrounge a copy of Summer ’87 to be legit.
