I'm applying for a job in which dBASE III+ is used
on IBM AT and  XT's. I've become spoiled by McMax
which permits 1,000 variables. Is it true that
vanilla dBASE III+ only permits 100? Are there
other restrictions I'll have to get used to?
If I get the job, I may be able to influence
the choice of software somewhat. Does PC Foxbase
have the same restrictions? I know that Clipper
has extensions; does it up the number of variables?

Thanks in advance for any information.
