HillDoes 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.
