FoxBase applications have various built-in commands to support dialog boxes, buttons, and that sort of thing. However, FoxBase's user interface is the same old dot prompt that Dbase is famous for. We have some Dbase folks around here who have seen Foxbase, though, and salivated quite effectively. Unfortunately, they are tied to the MS-DOS machines, but it almost had them switching. If you knew these people, you'd be impressed. I do. I was. It must be pretty good... --- "Livin' it up..." Peter Merchant (merchant@eleazar.UUCP) (merchant@eleazar.dartmouth.EDU)
