[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Any have experience with dbFast?

Has any one used the cheap dBase compiler called dbFast (from dbFast
Inc., Issaquah, WA)?  Its ads look good (fast compilation, fast
programs, small exe files, compatibility, includes a "professional
level" editor, etc.) and its price matches the couple of small
programming projects I want to use it for.  However, I haven't seen
any reviews in the industry rags.  Has anyone used it?  Does it live
up to its claims (especially compatibility and small exe files)?

Compared to Clipper (at $400US), the $99 price tag is excellent (Can
you say "Borland").  It doesn't have to be as good as Clipper, as my
applications aren't too intense.  But is it even in the same ballpark?

Please reply....wherever.  Thanks.
