Since I was called down for suggesting dBASE to someone.  They indicated
that I should not suggest a product like dBASE if I did not use
any other products.  I have extensively used Paradox, Rbase 
(although not in the past year or two), and dBASE.  I have also
looked at Oracle and Enable.  I prefer dBASE IV over all of the
other packages I have worked with.  I am a professional programmer/
developer and have written programs for the US Govt. and a number
of state agencies.  

This could turn into a religious war, which I would not like to see.
For those looking at database packages for DOS, you may want to
read Databased Advisor magazine and look at Info World.
