   Does anyone out there have experience with FMS-80?  The ads
sound intriguing ($600 price drop [ I wonder why//]) and they
certainly teased me with their talk of relational DBMS.  Is is
possible to generate schema files (descriptions of files)
separate from the actual data files?  Can you generate a schema
file to describe a file that FMS-80 didn't write?  Is it worth
the $395 that they are charging?
   If possible, I'd like to have any responses by Tuesday (19
Jul 83).  Thanks for your help.
