Olejniczak) Newsgroups: comp.databases Subject: PC database product opinions requested Message-ID: Date: 5 Jan 89 16:52:05 GMT Organization: University of Miami (IR) Lines: 21 This is a request for opinions about dBase III + (IV ok) vs. Paradox. I have a small applications that will grow with time. The users are about as naive as they come. The appilications will have two sugnificant features: large files (zilions of records) four files now, up to eight later, from which information will have to be extracted. The whole thing has to run on a PC (large disk). I know of dBase and I have heard of Paradox. If you can suggest which one you like better and why, OR if you can suggest another product that you think may serve better, I would be most grateful for any advice. I would appreciate direct e-mail responses; should their be numerous, I will post a summary back here. If you cannot reach me by e-mail, please be assured I will check this newsgroup daily for at least two weeks (probably end of January 89). With manu thanks Stan --- Happy New Year!
