I am going to convert an in-memory database program (actually a Baseball
Statistics Manager program) to TP 6.0 and have been having some trouble
deciding the port method.  It is written in 3.0 but I have in compiling under
6.0 now.  Should I rewrite it completely under Topaz or utilize disk based
arrays under Obj Pro 1.1?  Using Topaz would allow dBase users to utilize the
files but Obj Pro has more goodies.  I could cross reference the two libraries
but I am mainly concerned with the speed and easy of sorting based on the
various statistics.

Comments are anxiously encouraged ...
