    I would like to continue it. I do a great deal of work on networks, mostly
Novell, and am quite interested in what people are oding about database 
development across the LAN.
     Too be honest, I can't see much of a performance difference between
Rbase, Dbase (I program in Clipper, so this is to what I'm referring), and
Paradox. All three are conventional in the fact that they must pass the enitre
entire application (and requests) across the LAN, creating a traffic
bottleneck. 
      What I'm particularly interested in; what are people doing with the new
SQL server interfaces, as they seem to be the way to go on LANs. Much more
efficient, unfortunatley, I don't think they've caught on that much yet.
 
      Clarion? I have never seen Clarion. What did you like about it, and 
what can you compare it to? It is an interpreter or compiler and how does it
work?? 
      ANd if you can, more about Emerald Bay, I've heard good things about it.
