[Dx4win] Another log program bites the dust...

[Bob de Grippo]

I lived in Atlanta and had Dxbase as my logging program when it was dos 
base and then windows based..
over the period of UPGRADES!!!!! they would nickle and dime you to 
death..you were like paying
$20-60 a year after purchase for improvements..bug fixs you paid for...
I bought dx4win oh 10-12 years ago best thing I did.......looking 
forward to purchase dx4win 8.0

very happy with the years of dx4win.
