As for the program SuperBase 4 itself, it shines.  It is slower than a text only
database, but that is too be expected.  The forms designer is worth it's weight
in gold.  And, completely standalone database applications can be created -
something not mentioned in the roundup of Windows programming languages earlier
in this newsgroup. (SB 4 also has worked with Windows 3.0 since October of
1989, starting with v1.0 - the ONLY program I had that did not need to be
updated when I got Win 3.0)

As for tech support - like all Windows products, the sudden flood of new users
is a bit overwhelming right now.  I've spoken to three employees in tech support
and all have assured me that several new people have been hired in each
department.  They also have MCIMAIL and Compuserve connections - and, if
enough of us netters want it, they will add USENET (one of their employees
informed me I was not the only one asking and asked me to gather up support
for it.)

I guess I should add a disclaimer - I have nothing whatsoever to do with 
Precision, Inc. except being a (100% satisfied with program, 80% satisfied
with tech support) customer.
