Subject: Starbase or R:BASE?
I recently loaded up a copy of Sun Microsystems
Star Office
5.2. This product will read and write
Excel and Word
documents. Definitely worth
looking into this product.
The price? It's FREE.
Now comes the best part... It's got a database
with it -- a heck
of a good database. Razzak made
a great move by getting R:BASE into
that product.
It's a stroke of genius! Microsoft made Access a
common name in the database world simply by
giving it away.
If you download a copy of Star Office 5.2 from
Sun Microsystems web
site, you can look in the
Directory of C:\StarOffice52\program, you will
find:
OT10_32 DLL 1,232,896

OT101

OT10INS
DLL 45,056 05-08-00
5:20a ot10ins.dll
This is not the most recent version of Oterro but
it's still a great
way to share one of the database
world's best kept secrets with a broad
spectrum
of people who are seeking an alternative to the
tyranny of
Microsoft.
Great move Razzak and I hope this brings a lot of
new people to R:BASE.
