Hi JohnK,

Yet there are more and more companies jumping on to the Linux bandwagon, which is also "free" and a giveaway.

So should on trust a "free" OS yet be leery of a given away (yet pricey) application development product?

Inquiring minds need to know < g >

Besides that, I'd be a bit paranoid of having critical systems based on an environment that it's main sponsor (Inprise) basically gave away.

>>Visual dBase was pawned off by Inprise to a company named dBase 2000. They haven't done squat with it yet and their web site has just continued to make promises for more information since day 1. Alan Katz is very reputable, but it doesn't appear his company has the resources or experience to make dBase a serious contender again.
