Thanx for the info...  Ok, so 4D gets no use from it, but does Acius
expect us to use their products alone on the Mac?  Plenty of other
stuff I do is dependent for speed on my cache.  I have 8M RAM in
my 'puter.  Is 4D really capable of using all that?  Only, I imagine,
if I have a db that's that size, which I won't.  Why doesn't Acius
give some more detail about that in their install info?  Oh, well.
