The demo of FoxPro 2.0 that was being shown at COMDEX in Atlanta was very
impressive, and FoxPro 2.0 was named 'Best PC Product' at COMDEX.

Apparently, the "Rushmore" name comes from the fact that the designer
of the new indexing method (or whatever it is) was watching "North by Northwest"
the evening he came up with the idea.  Fox Software is investingating patenting
the process.
