>>Yeah! But how hard would it be to duplicate its functionality and call it VisualWolfPro or something like that. Functionality cannot be copyrighted.

Anyone who can tell the difference between xBase and Clipper 4 has got better vision than I.

No, xBASE is the sort of generic reference for things that derived from dBASE-ish language roots.
