If Informix couldn't make it... Don, I appreciate very much your acknowledgement of R:BASE's niche market. The R:BASE community has supported the product for nearly 20 years now, because R:BASE gives them exactly what they need to run their establishments. Just as in life, we must do what we are good at, and R:BASE is no different. R:BASE is the BEST RDBMS program with regards to PERFORMANCE, POWER, SPEED, and RELIABILITY. Basically, the BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! What other database program can use DOS and Windows at the same time on the same database? To the best of my knowledge, only R:BASE. Just take a look at how much functionality and power that you get when you buy R:BASE. We have taken great measures to keep the overall cost of the program WELL within the competition. If R:BASE were to venture into the Client/Server market, the cost would be one of the greatest deterrents. R:BASE can effectively combine the "big" and "little" environments by providing the ease of use needed in the "little" environments, at the same time it can provide the POWER and PERFORMANCE needed in the "big" environments. Most importantly, it can perform this amazing feat for a fraction of the costs!
