In "Advanced Clipper" by Larry Heimendinger is a complete history of the development of Clipper and Nantucket is outlined. The very first Clipper version was Winter '84 (shipped May '85) and had a manual of.... 54 pages (knowledge of dBASEIII was assumed). Winter '85: 200 pages of documentation, additions of VALID clause and SAVE/RESTORE SCREEN commands. Autumn '86 added the "==" operator, one-dimensional arrays, and usage of functions as commands. Summer '87 (released after Christmas) brought further enhancements and a completely revised documentation. I don't know about any patches, I know about them only from the BBS's...
