Foxpro, Fox Software's answer to Dbase 4 is on the way as announced
in the Foxbase User Newsletter.  Included are:
     - a greatly enhanced report writer
     - a debugger (in the tradition of Borland's on-line debuggers)
     - an on-line manual
     - greatly!! increased speed (faster still than Foxbase 2.11)  
     - Fast character based windowing schemes - taken from the
       Macintosh Foxbase interface
     - Can run in under 384K of RAM with no loss of features
     - and a whole host of other features...

I've been using Foxbase for 3 years now after coming from Dbase II and
I swore I would never go back to A-T.

What it doesn't have - an SQL interface, but for all intents and
purposes, neither does DBase 4...

Watch and wait...
