Um, first, let me get this quickly out of the way:
To Macy@NCoast - Mail to you bounces (several different ways!), so I haven't
been able to reach you. Maybe we can chat via phone sometime.
Now, on to business. We're using FilePro down here as a database (which dates
back a *LONG* time 9-), & I've recently noticed a consistant problem. At some
seemingly random times, hitting the <Delete> key not only aborts what you were
doing, but seems to in addition display various data which seemed to come from
the OS cache! The shell often attempts to run commands based on this, & since
quite often it appears to be database information, it doesn't work very well.
So, has anyone out there seen this problem before? Also, if you're using
FilePro under SCO, I'd like to hear from you. We're using SCO 386, Version
2.2.3 right now, but eventually I'm going to install the version 2.3.2R on my
desk.
And, have any of you actually *SEEN* version 2.0 of Small Computer's SQL for
FilePro? We've been told several times in the last 12 months that "it'll be out
in 1, maybe 2 more months". It seems to be a very good example of vaporware.
Does Small Computer have anyone here on the net?
Thanx, <Mowgli>
