[comp.os.cpm] DBASE II sources?

UFWORLEY@NERVM.NERDC.UFL.EDU (Bruce H. McIntosh) (10/24/88)

Can anyone direct me to a source of the most-recent version of DBASE II for
cp/m ?  If I purchase it "new" (how can a program put out so long ago be
called new? :-) ), will Ashton-Tate support it?  Any help will be greatly
appreciated!

RE: dbase II support

Bruce,

dbase II is no longer produced by Ashton-Tate.  However, they may
still support it.  I have version 2.41 which I THINK is the last
one they made.  I never have consulted A-T but instead bought a
book on it at Waldenbooks.  Central Computer Products also sells
some programs that work within the dbase framework and you might
also find something of value at FOG, First Osborne Group.  They
both also have MANY other CP/M programs as well.  I have both
their addresses should you be interested.
