Yes, the _Boston Globe_ also ran that article.  I think it's a fait
accompli:  dBase IV is going to fade into oblivion, as Paradox takes
its place in the PC software market.  Of course, this isn't all
that relevant to Gnu because the FSF isn't interested in DOS.  (It
is probably interested in Unix-based PC software, which will hopefully
proliferate someday soon.)
