Well, retail is $295 but if you browse an AmigaWorld, you'll see it going for $174, $199, or $209, or $167.95, depending where you look. This is a good deal for a database manager that sells for $1295.00 to $39,995.00 on other machine for the Exact Same Program. Whether or not it's overkill for your needs, whatever data/applications you create with dbMan are instantly portable to the majority of the computers in the world. Many people buy something like SuperBase and realizes it doesn't do one or more things they need. We do it all. >Sounds Usefull. But I'd still want an AREXX port!. Have an application in mind? Show us how you could use an ARexx port and we'll put one in. >yorkw@ecn.purdue.edu Willis F York >Macintosh...

We're rewriting it, but frankly, I'd rather spend my time on the A3000 :-) If enough Amiga people buy dBMan, I can do that :-) -------------------------------- Ben Discoe, caltech escapee, amigoid and visionary.
