I agree that there isn't enough interest to create a newsgroup just for
dBase, even though dBase IV is soon to appear. A mailing list would indeed
be more appropriate. 

(p.s., I just got the pre-release edition of dBase IV. It is a very complex
product, but the SQL implementation looks good. I'm afraid to say any more,
since I don't know exactly what I'm allowed to disclose at this point.)
