I had that and it did weigh a ton. OTOH it sold for about $700, and that was 25 years ago or close to it. I finally chucked it on one of my moves, along with some other doorstops from that era. OS/2 development kit, anyone? ;-)

>Kind of funny, I was in GoodWill store few months ago and actually bought an unopened dBase III Plus for $4 (still in shrink wrap) just to say I have it. Thing is huge with lots of manuals I guess.

>>>>>I've a coworker (in a different division) who uses dBase Plus. I, personally prefer VFP and am trying to convince them to consider using it. My question to you (I haven't used dBase since dBase III ... LOL) is there anything 'exciting' about this product? Those who are/have used it, do you consider it to be VFP's equal? I'm tired of debating (healthy disagreements) with the individual, so I thought I'd ask (to maintain my sanity) here.

>>>Being a 'Clipper-head', I originally began with Delphi but along the way jumped to VFP. Became infatuated with VFP, I forgot about Delphi and 'other' languages until ORACLE. After reading VFP fading away in the near future, it left me wondering about other xBase products, hence a coworker showed me dBase Plus.

>>>Looks very interesting to say the least.
