I have just inherited a dBase IV 1.0 installation. I worked with III+ for 
many years but have not been in the field since IV came out.
I hear a lot of references about 1.0's problems/bugs/disasters but no
hard facts. The reason I got hired was because they were using 1.0 on
a Lantastic Network .DBF files got corrupted, even though it appears that it
was set up w/ DOS share, etc... Could this be a problem caused by 1.0?
What other problems does 1.0 have? Will I have problems going to 1.1?
Does A-T charge for the update or can we get it for free?
Thanx for the help,
Octavio.
