Some folks here are trying to choose between dBase Mac and Fourth dimension
for relational db work. One consideration is being able to read dbase III
files. We've heard that 4D is faster and there is a utility to convert
file formats from dbase III to 4D. Anyone have any details or comments?
I would appreciate any suggestions, experiences, rumors, etc.
