Certainly a sad piece of news.

But always bears repeating - the story of Fox Software pulling the massive "David slays Goliath"-style victory over Ashton Tate is one of the greatest software stories of our adult lifetimes. The boys in Perrysburg didn't just beat Ashton Tate and dBase IV - they kicked the living you-know-what out of them.
