reengineered. Now it's a highly-advanced database application development platform, yet retains the simplicity which made the
original dBASE world-renown.
Really? Hmm Claudio you might be right. I do remember Borland selling off dBASE whilst I was there for a $1 or something
like that to if I remember rightly Alan Katz(?) and others. Remember dBASE becoming part of the InterBase company?
They set up shop initially in Santa Cruz and a few people I knew worked for them (inc. Mike Tossy). I do believe
that they struggled a bit from a financial perspective.
after that who knows - as I lost contact....
