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... Michael Silano weasel@jhuvms weasel or dat_48 @jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu
