The original 3b version was, indeed, dBASE II 1/2.  (I believe it
was labelled 2.4E for various obscure reasons.)  The UNIX PC version
was a full dBASE III.  I think I'm in a position to know; I did a large
part of that port.  I don't know whether a full III was ever released
for the 3b series.

I'm one of the first to jump on A-T about UNIX dBASE, but I prefer to
keep everything truthful...
