I remember seeing something that indicated that Dan Schafer or
somebody had written XCMDs to link HyperCard and FoxBASE, but
I don't think I've seen any ads for it.  Has anybody seen/tried/heard
of this product?  (There is something out there called
 HyperFox, but that turns out to be a hypertext add-on
for FoxPro on the PC :))

Ajalon Corporation claims that

"Ajalon has the exclusive rights to develop and sell Raima's excellent
database technology on the Macintosh platform."

They have a XCMD product called hyper_Vista.
