We are seriously considering moving a medium-sized
database (about 10 tables, maximum 6,000 records)
from McMax to Foxbase's networked version. The decision
is prompted partly by prodding from other usenet posters
and partly by Nantucket's lackluster performance at
producing bugfree software and responding to problems.

I'd appreciate receiving Email on any potential problems
we may run into, especially in running the networked
Foxbase across our rather slow TOPS network. We are also
considering connecting our network to a VAX server, which
might improve performance. I'd also be interested in
hearing about reasonable alternatives, considering that
I have more than a hundred dBASEIII+ programs servicing
the database.
