  I currently have a job offer with a company that manages a large
database project with something called File Pro.  I know NOTHIN about
it nor have I ever heard of it.  Can someone give me some solid
information on this product or point me in the right direction for
information?  

  I'd like a comparison to something like FoxPro or dBase, which I've
used, to give me a point of reference.  The company showed me a little
of the code and it looks like a glorified dBase or some kind of
"front-end" to me.  

  I'm really concerned with how easy or complicated the package is.
How long would it take me to learn it.  I'm asked, would it be a
challenge to learn and work with?  If not, I don't think I want the
job as a significant portion of the job deals with programming this
database.  ANY, and I mean ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
(I'm done ranting now)
