Hi James
Let alone xBase, we can provide input format even in COBOL :)

not have to position the cursor after the first blank space before typing! This is not unreasonable. I could do it in Fortran IV inputting from a teletype, for Pete's sake! In FoxBase I could type "10" and when I hit the decimal point the cursor would hop over to where it belonged and I could continue typing the fractional part.
And I didn't have to write three or four event handlers to get the job done either!>

Will the next version of .Net be as good as dBase II?>
