Hi Steve:

I played with it about twenty years ago. It was one of the first
relational(?) multi-user PC databases and was ported from a main-frame
product used Boeing company out of Seattle. I understand it was used up at
our local university as an instructional tool. I had a copy for a while but
it was too slow...running on a 128K PC box.

I have heard nothing about the application since then.

Subject: [AccessD] R-base

Anyone have experience with R-Base, an old DOS system?  Unsure if it is
a product or one-time custom built thing.  

We have client using our Access-based system, but they've been holding
out on converting their R-Base data.  That is, until now, as it appears
to have broke.  The screens minimized themselves to about an inch or two
tall, and they are unable to maximize. What ever caused this also caused
the screens not to be able to print. 

Thanks in advance!
