Sounds like there's enough interest to warrant providing some info and answering some questions. Full-scale support may require some changes in my USENET feeds. saify@cbnewsl.ATT.COM (saify.lanewala) writes: > In article <1205@orbit.UUCP>, biggity@pnet51.orb.mn.org (Jon Johnston) writes: > > ANd if you can, more about Emerald Bay, I've heard good things about it. > I have used Emerald Bay's database engine.

After Migent failed to make a royalty payment, we (RSPI) cancelled their contract. Lanware, which was in the process of acquiring Migent, briefly fought the cancellation, but gave up... I believe in June '89. The Lanware acquisition of Migent then fell through. RSPI now holds all marketing rights and is selling the product line directly. Eagle and Summit have been renamed to Vulcan and Liaison, respectively, because Migent owned those trademarks. > Most of their emphasis seems to be on Eagle, their dBASE answer, while > my focus is on their C Applications Development Library. We are certainly interested in people using the C Toolkit. Most of our sales have been Vulcan, so we do spend more attention there. The C Toolkit is an essential part of the product, though - Vulcan and the other surfaces use it to talk to the engine! Enough commercial message. Call 818-248-0877 for more info. Mention that you got the number via USENET so we can figure out if it makes sense to try to make support available in comp.databases or perhaps a biz.* group. -- Jordan Brown, Ratliff Software Productions Inc.
