These questions may have been answered some time ago but I would appreciate
any replies nonetheless.

I am planning on writing an application involving 4 or so record-types 
with requiring relations. But this program seems to perform slowly on an
SE even when we're only talking about sorting ten records. Querie retrieval
is also slow. However, I like the graphic layout of the structure and of views
that the MAC allows. What's the next best package in terms of speed, that also 
has a moderately friendly application environment ( fast and not too complicatedto program). What about Foxbase (Omnis looks a little daunting at first glance)
Is there a newer faster version of dbase ?

Thanks Tony.
