>Dbase is not killed. Dbase Inc bougth dBase from Borland. Look at
www.dbase.com>dbase still a good tool. The reseller in Brasil said me that, they are playnning to make a new version for Linux.
I said Borland killed it, including support. It is really not evolving significantly with significant new features. Find out what the active customer base is. There are no significant resources behind it. Go ahead and post a list of new features that have been added to dBase in the past few years, you may be surprised how short the list is.
