BS>Guess they can afford to give away the old 5.0.  I think the current 
version
BS>is called Visual dBase 5.5.  This has been well reviewed in the Fido 
Clipper
BS>forum, and may be a better way than Delphi to do Windows database work if
BS>you don't need to scale to the enterprise level.
Yes, the deal includes an offer to upgrade to the Visual dBase version.
Also, it's not that bad a magazine....
BS>Delphi is slick, but its database capabilities always strike me as being
BS>slow and clumsy.  For example, Calvert's book has a 
arent-child-grandchild
BS>(customer-order-line item) SQL example whose low speed would be totally
BS>unacceptable in any workplace.
I will have to take a look at that one.  Actually, database development
is not my primary interest anyway.
