Hi, fellow fossil... When I saw your post I thought, "Surely FoxPro was around earlier than 1989 - I was using it on a PC AT!" So I looked up FoxPro history and it appears you are correct. So I must have used dBASE II on the AT, and then dBASE III until 1989/90. One day I got a big envelope from someplace called Fox Software with sample disks of FoxPro. I tried it, saw it was much faster than dBASE III, and was hooked for life. I never used FoxBase, so I'm guessing the trial sample was part of the marketing campaign for the new FoxPro 1.0.
