-----------------------------------
Gary,

This reveals a bit our age.

Created around 1887 by Zamenhof (a Polish guy), this language was supposed
to unify the World. In Esp�ranto, this term means "the one who hopes".

The dBase language was once spoken by millions of people (fluently by
developpers, a bit by simple users), more than Esp�ranto ever was. Yet, we
still talk about Esp�ranto more than a century after is was proposed...
