I'm working on a multi-user database application and we're currently 
running Helix.  We want to do some fairly fancy stuff though, and
Helix just doesn't have a programming capability that I need (I'm a
refugee from the IBM compatible world, so I'm used to dBASE III
programming features.)  Any suggestions re what other systems are out
there that support multi-user environments but are more sophisticated
in their customization/programming features?  (Is dBASE available on
Mac yet and does it have similar features to its IBM PC version?
dBASE IV on PCs is buggy--is the Mac version similarly plagued?)
