I am interested in developing a dBASE-compatible application on my
Amiga for a service organization I am involved in. Since I do not
anticipate any revenues from the project, nor any financial support
from the organization, I would like the DBMS to be public domain or
relatively inexpensive. Since I would like the applications to be
portable to MS-DOS dBASE clones (or the real McCoy), dBASE query
language compatibility is a must. A DBMS that can read and write
dBASE files, but can't handle dBASE's language for applications is
not an option.
I am aware of dBMANIV, which has a direct MessyDos counterpart, but
unfortunately, unless things change drastically, it is out of my price
range. If you have any experience with a dBASEIII-compatible DBMS on
an Amiga, I would appreciate hearing from you. If you know of a program,
but haven't used it yourself, please let me know about it, including an
ftp source, if available. If you have developed a dBASE-type application
for both the Amiga and MS-DOS world, I would especially like to hear from
you.
Please reply by e-mail, and if volume and interest warrant, I will
summarize to the net.
Thanks in advance,
