Superbase Pro is NOT compatible with dBase - only the data files are.
There is a program called dBMan which is 100% dBase compatible, also
with many useful extensions.  In fact, dBMan is available for 40
platforms, from the ST and Amiga through Unix machines all the way up
to mainframes.  All programs and data are compatible across all platforms.

dBMan comes with a compiler, report generator, and assorted utilities.
It has more features than you can shake a stick at.  If you have serious
database needs, check it out.
