McMax is from Nantucket Corporation, who also publish Clipper, a dBASE compiler
for the PC.  From the reviews that I recall seeing, McMax is quite primitive by
comparison with FoxBase+/Mac --- it doesn't implement the Mac graphical 
interface at all, plus it's significantly slower.  There are no third party 
books available for it, and I believe that sales are considerably less than
FoxBase+/Mac.  (They've probably sold fewer copies than dBASE Mac, a scary
thought.)

I'd say go with FoxBase+.
