Yep, you are correct.
IV was a nightmare. Up until very recently I still had the diskettes with 1.0 (which blew chunks), 1.1 (which was pretty stable), 1.5 (a step backwards), 2.0, and so on...I can't remember the final version. Plus I had half-a-dozen betas for the first Visual dBase. I think I finally round-filed most of that stuff. Still got V installed, tho, but the app I need it for is getting the wooden stake later this year.
