[Dxbase] Windows 8 before DXBase 10?

[Kim Elmore]

I don't see the point, here. Windows 7 introduced a lot of 
non-trivial changes while Windows 8 is simply vaporware.

I find DXBase does everything I need with the capability to do lots 
that I either don't know about or haven't yet needed. But even better 
is that it doesn't do stuff unasked that I don't need. A lot of 
people find it necessary to have the newest stuff because it's, 
well... New. Especially with software, there be dragons.

DXBase is a mature program with sufficient support to meet community 
needs. Nothing about it is broken. Neal is working on a new version 
that incorporates many new features and as work proceeds he wants to 
insure that we don't wind up as beta testers that have to pay for the 
privilege.

Patience, patience...
