Message-ID: <16682@sri-arpa.UUCP> Date: Thu, 16-Feb-84 12:42:00 EST Article-I.D.: sri-arpa.16682 Posted: Thu Feb 16 12:42:00 1984 Date-Received: Mon, 20-Feb-84 01:29:02 EST Lines: 19 Is there a better, more sophisticated DBMS than DBASEll for an IBM-PC or MS-DOS machine? That is, can anyone recommend a DBMS that has the command language, memory variables, etc. of DBASEll and: (in order of importance) Has audit trail/backup recovery capability. More easily incorporates calls to other languages (C, Basic, etc). Can be called from another another language. Handles more than two files at once. I have seen one or two magazine articles which claim to compare DBMSs for the PC but since they dont seem to list the proper features for the DBASEll that I know in the CPM world, I dont find the listings too useful. Therefore I would most appreciate personal experience evaluations. Thank you, Mike Slade
