In the latest Programmer's Shop catalog, Raima is advertising their db_FILE(tm) File Manager 2.2 with db_RETRIEVE for $295 single user and $595 multi-user. This includes source code to the File Manager and db_RETRIEVE (an SQL-based Query and Report Writer). This sounds like a good deal, except nowhere do they describe the difference between db_FILE and the full db_VISTA III system. Does anyone have any experience with db_FILE and what the differences are between it and db_VISTA?

Raima renamed their old version and now sells it at a lower cost. I don't think there will ever be an upgrade to db_File, other than buying db_Vista, which is significantly more expensive.
