I also agree with this sentiment.  If A-T would keep a superior product
on the market they would not have to worry about the clones.  I have
been dis-enchanted with A-T products for a while, although I did start
with dBASE II on a CP/M machine.

A-T, please work with your users and developers instead of fighting us!
