Well, if you don't like FoxBase+/Mac, you probably won't like this
suggestion either, but did you know that we just released (last month)
dBASE IV RunTime PLUS for Macintosh, which is not only compatible
with .DBFs and .PRGs created on the PC, but is also binary compatible
with .DBOs compiled on the PC, and also supports multiuser file
sharing with files located on PC servers? dBASE IV is also released
on two other platforms: Sun OS and VAX/VMS.
