Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 20 Yeah, dBUG (our local user's group) got to see the demo last January; release was promised in March. It was fairly impressive, but the thing they kept hemming and hawing over was that it could not run programs created on the PC's dBASE II version, because the command language wasn't quite identical.
