Late last summer I saw a demo at SDMUG by someone from Ashton-Tate of DBase
Mac.  At that time, they were predicting a January '87 release.  What ever
happened to this product?  I thought it looked pretty slick; Does anyone know
how it compares to Silv...(oops) 4th-Dimension?  Is that what happened? Did
they get caught in the same battle with Acius as the word processor people did
this winter? (I had the impression of numerous delays there as developers 
scrambled to meet the rumours of competitors features.)  I know I have seen
postings by Ashton-Tate's Glendale (Mac) team on this newsgroup; Can you 
guys talk?
Thanks in advance...
