DBASE IV BUG?
Our department has recently purchased DBASE IV, over the past semester we
have discovered a couple of possible bugs.  One, which we handle with a
batch file is as follows;

	Upon doing anything in DBASE IV the program creates temporary
	files.  Unfortuneatly, it doesn't get rid of them when it is
	finished.

	QUESTION: Is this a fault in the program, or the setup. As of yet
	A/T hasn't answered our query.

The other bug, is more of a nusiance, as of yet I have found no way around
it, other than to stick with its limitations.  Here it comes;

	When creating labels, the program will not work, unless there is
	text on both the top, and bottom of the lable.

	QUESTION: This problem was discovered recently, thus A/T hasn't 
	been consulted, Is this problem universal, or just a bug with my
	copy of the software.

Thanks is advance, Ken
