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.  Rumors about the delays I've heard pointed to efforts to try to
get the dBASE II Mac's command language to be a true superset of the PC's
dBASE II.

And, yah, 4th Dimension blows it out of the water...

                         show, and lined them up, they'd stretch halfway to
                         the moon and back... and none of them would be
                         complaining."
