Just a quick question for a friend regarding Clipper:

   Does SET EXACT <ON/OFF> work as it does in DBASEIII+ or has
   it been found to be buggy at all?  Do all the routines respect
   that flag?  He's (my friend) getting frustrated complaining that
   even with EXACT ON, SEEK is setting FOUND() to true even when
   an exact match hasn't been made (e.g. lengths are different).


			Thanks in advance,
