Sorry if this duplicates previous discussion, if so, could someone send me a 
summary of the discussion...

I see ads by Ashton-Tate advertising dBase IV for $30 to dBase III+ purchasers
before July 31, 1988.

I assume one will be getting the NON-developers version of dBase IV for that
$30, correct me if I'm wrong.

Does anybody know, if I acquire dBase IV for such a $30 upgrade:

    1) Will I be in the same position to upgrade to the developer's version
       as someone who directly purchased dBase IV?

    2) If the initial release of dBase IV has bugs, will I be in the same
       position to obtain a bug fix release as someone who directly purchased
       dBase IV?

dBase III+ lists for $695 and can be obtained (at a discount) for as low as
$359 (Price Club So. Calif.) to $389.

dBase IV is reportedly going to list for $795 and $1295 (for the developer's
edition).  Any idea what that'll discount for?
