Does anyone have a review of different xBase-Clones implemented under VMS?
I've been poking around with Recital (they were nice enough to ship out a 30
day demo copy) and there's another company out in Joisey which wishes to send
me a review copy.
I have one or two applications (well, my friends do :-) which would be ported
outta dBase IV/DOS to ???/VMS?
I'm also toying with the idea of getting dBase IV/VMS from Digital on a 30-day
PAK to look at (and try to port code on).

DISCLAIMER: OK, maybe you have a custom .BIN file that you LOAD/CALL. But we even provide support for PC drive letters hard-coded in file names on all platforms. --Cy-- cy@dbase.a-t.com
