[comp.databases] DBASE IV - change the SUBJECT!

dcc003@muvms1.bitnet (04/25/89)

Me again.
Look, when I brought up the subject of Dbase IV, I was looking for help with
a couple of minor problems I was having.  I wasn't even sure it was really
bugs, as the ps2/60's I was running on have been a little tempermental of late
anyway.  I wanted help for DBIV, not advice to switch to a program that in my
opinion was inferior to DBIV.  Now I know I have been a little guilty of
pushing this little contest along, but with the exception of Alaistair at A-T,
no one has even touched the subject of my POSSIBLE bugs.  Of course you all
don't mind using the "RE:DBASE IV BUG(S)" subject to push your products.  It
seemed to me that very few, if any, who responed to my problem (without useful
advice i might add..) appears to even have used it.  Why don't you guys find
another subject to use, such as DBASE VS FOX or some such other title.  I am
sure that some other DBIV users read this stuff, and are most likely as
disapointed as my self at the lack of information found.

Once again, I state my problems. 1) Dbase does not erase its temporary files
after use.  I currently get around this problem with a batch file.
	2 ) Labels tend to lock up on me, unless data is on both the first and
last line of the label. 
	The problem could only be a poor copy of the software that was sent. 
That is what I want to know.

By the way, if everyone is so hot to prove foxbase is better than DBIV, how
come nobody mentioned it in an attention getting headline before now?
