Dear all

Is there a FAQ for this group?

If not, could you answer the following questions.

What is a decent relational database for the Mac? I know of 4D,
and Foxbase+/Mac.

What I want to do is to develop a simple application for managing
records and do the normal things like, SELECT, PROJECT and JOIN
operations. But it has to be relational because of the multiple
tables and relations.

Looking through the MacWarehouse (UK) catalog 4D Pro costs 899 pounds
compared with 295 pounds for FoxBase. I mean, is 4D so good that it
has to charge so much? 

I've developed applications with dBaseIV on the PC and what I want to
know is can I convert the .dbf files into Mac and be read by
FoxBase/Mac?


I hope I've made myself clear.

Thanks in advance. 

Len Aye
