My update took a good month and a half. You'll get it. And, FYI, MacWarehouse still has copies of dBASE Mac for $49. I bought it, what the hell. Then I MacLinked a dBASE III Plus file over, and went through the hoops of opening it on the Mac. Boy, what garbage. The project manager of dBASE Mac should be strung up by the ****s. And compare that to FoxBASE, which can open those dBASE files _directly_, without all the "import" garbage Ashton*Tate built into its own damn program....But I've got the upgrade path, now, and with luck that one'll work. --Adam-- -- Adam Frix via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!200.2!Adam.Frix INET: Adam.Frix@p2.f200.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG

SK> Shirley Kehr Shirley, I received my v1.1 upgrade AUTOMAGICALLY within a couple of months of the original $55 purchase from MacConnection. And, NO, I did NOT have to call AT to request the upgrade! (For what it's worth, unless you're into multi-lingual dictionaries or heavy-duty outlining the upgrade is virtually useless. That is, there was not any detectable performance improvement, and I have not run into any v1.0 bugs that have been fixed in v1.1.) -jwh John Hardin, MCC CAD Program | ARPA: hardin@mcc.com | Phone: [512] 338-3535 Box 200195, Austin, TX 78720 | UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!milano!cadillac!hardin -- John Hardin, MCC CAD Program | ARPA: hardin@mcc.com | Phone: [512] 338-3535 Box 200195, Austin, TX 78720 | UUCP: ...!cs.utexas.edu!milano!cadillac!hardin

Many people that I know took advantage of the offer and received their versions in a couple of weeks. The demand however, may have been so large that new 1.1 product might need to be built. In any case, the best idea would be to call customer service at (213) 329-9989. Yes, there are people to solve your problem, but the wait may be longer than usual because of the increased interest in the next release of dBASE PC. There is also a bulletin board through problems like this can be tackled. I don't have the information on access right this second, but I'll post it to the net as soon as I can.
