>>> Well, that's interesting.  We still see frequent (mostly Security) patches.  Had three yesterday, in fact.

"Extended" support still offers security patches.  It's the non-security patches that require a fee or a service contract.


>>> Well, it actually is dBase IV/5, not III+.

Yes, I read "5" in the previous e-mail, but thought I'd use "III" as an example (because I know of at least one company that still uses dBase III+).  =P


>>> And in the 16 bit version they changed reports to use an old 3rd party package called Crystal Reports.

Ooooooh, another product on people's s-list.  An "industry standard" for generating reports, but a product that it seems no body wants to own/support.  I'm not even sure who owns Crystal at this point - they've been through *many* ownership changes in the past few years!  Crystal, Veritas, Seagate, etc.
