[Dxbase] My 2 cents on "new" dxbase

[Crownhaven]

I have to agree with Larry.  I can't comment regarding the prefix 
updates because I know nothing about what that entails.  I am guessing 
Neal had a learning curve the first time and it will simpler the next time.

On an aside, when I ran the Updater, my databases were corrupted.  It 
could have been my fault.  I wonder if anyone else suffered a corrupted 
database when running the program.  I'm using XP Home and Pro.  The 
incident occurred on XP Home.
