Has anyone had experience with DB-VISTA on the Mac, or any other compilable
database engines?  We have reached the limits of FoxBASE and 4th Dimension
in that they are fine custom-job tools but not clean enough for producing
shrink-wrapped packages. 

Our preference would be for something that could be compiled into Hypercard
XCMDS which limits some assumptions about global variables.

Any war-stories about integrating such products into applications built using 
the Think Class Library (C or Pascal)?

Please post your responses rather than mailing directly - it saves you and 
several Australian universities money that way (I don't expect *THAT* many
responses).

Thanks in Advance
