dBASE IV is currently shipping on DOS, VMS, and UNIX. A MAC version named
RUNTIME+ has been announced as in the making. All these versions use the
same datafiles, the same object files (similar to PASCAL PCODE), and allow
networking. The same files can be accessed by networked PCs, VMS and UNIX
files (MAC when available) at the same time.
