Any leads would be appreciated. I would also appreciate any leads. Also, any word on a similar fromnt-end arrangement for the next version of FoxBase+/Mac? That would be a boon to our work, seeing as we have done most of our development in FoxBase already. We have Oracle for the Mac, and would be interested in using either a '386 or Mac IIx with A/UX for an Oracle server. Anyone have any leads on the feasability of this (in the near future?)
