Compelling reasons to upgrade past 4.5++?  Even if you want to stay 
in DOS?  I'll start a list for you:

*) No more "network access control file!"

*) Databases on huge hard drives

*) Smart 2-digit-year date entry

*) Temporary tables and views

*) Stored procedures

*) Triggers

That's just off the top of my head. There are also literally hundreds of 
bug fixes since 4.5++.

It sounds like you ought to come to Pittsburgh in April, too, Bill!
