Re: dBase II...
IMHE there is a lot of (x)base code still out there. On one hand, forced obsolence is crippling a lot of it with code no longer operable on modern systems (actually, a bad reflection of modern systems) but far too much of it is suffering because it was written by people who should never be let near a keyboard, let alone an applictaion/database system.
So it's great because it was accessible to many people while simultaneously not being great for the same reason... :)
