[AccessD] OT StartOffice

...its Adabase D from Software AG ...trouble is that afaik it only supports
database functions in the other apps like a word merge or spreadsheet tables
...there is no standalone product interface, front-end, or VBA like program
support ...which means its not even close to MySQL as a db development
environment, much less Access :(

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and
degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is
worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to
fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a
miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so
by the exertions of better men than himself."  John Stuart Mill
