Summary: dbFast


I own a copy of DBFAST and so far am impressed.  The only
problem I have encountered is a bug in the compiler that 
produces load modules that hang the system for certain source
programs.  If you get 1.0G the bug is supposed to be fixed.
It compiles fast, makes small EXE files and runs quick.  The
screen I/O is much quicker than dBASE.  The only drawback is that
the standard libraries are memory resident, although they
include a program to clear the resident portion from memory.
The resident program and clear program have an unlimited distribution
license so that your clients do not need to buy a thing but 
your program.

Generally I like the product and am awaiting the new version 
before doing any more testing.
