Well, dead and practically gone are nearly synonomous. If you think FoxPro is marginalized, then dBase is buried 6 feet under <g>...

Another example, of a good product that died for no other reason than bad marketing and a large company who dumped it to be sold for literally nothing to a tiny startup.

I have no idea how well it does, but I can't remember the last time I've heard anything about dBase.
