About GrafXSoft

GrafXSoft, a world leader in the distribution of specialized database application development tools, was founded by Brian Feldman in 1989, as a company that contracted with 3rd party Clipper developers, providing sales and technical support for them. After negotiating a contract for inclusion in CA-Clipper and CA-Visual Objects for Ganahl's FlexFile, and Loadstone's Comix and ClipMore, GrafXSoft's role changed considerably to become an international re-seller of database development tools, thereby guaranteeing a channel of distribution for products that we develop in the future.
