Simon, believe me we was not going offend Metacard in any way!
Just visa versa, main developer of VXCMD -- Brian Yenni is MetaCard
developer and we have made all our best to provide you great database engine
as on MAC so on Windows.

Simon, actually 1.8.7 release have had 3 major features:
-- introduces Java
-- carbon version of V4RB
-- carbon ver of VAPP.
if you want you can find in archive release 1.8.6 or 1.8.5 which was WHOLE
about VXCMD.
I must say that MacDev even did not want send it out, because they did say
that XCMD is old ant not modern. So I argument that VXCMD can be used as in
old xCards (HC, SC) so in today's product MetaCard, also in Fronteir and
probably in MacPerl.
