I bought a copy of LOGiSTiK for $10 from someone about 3 years ago.  I was
pleasantly surprised to find out that it reads 123 files and macros (and
SuperCalc files which is what we Osborne owners REALLY needed).  I think 
Precision is carrying it now.  I guess I should dig up that magazine article 
about 123 and DBase clones for the Amiga.  It's real nice to insert a PC disk 
into your Amiga drive and read in a 123, DBase, or WordPerfect file, edit it 
and then write it back to the disk.  For me it makes compatibility a non-issue.
