***********************************************************
* PERFORM.PRG
*
* Due to appear in April 1989 issue of a national magazine
*
* Utility to unlock the speed of Dbase languages
*
* Quality Software from Head Quarters - Corvallis, OR
*
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
*
* Software vendors are so sensitive about meeting
* specifications they often resort to "restricting"
* program performance. This is usually done to limit
* complaints and possible "failure to perform" litigation.
*
* Since software companies like Fox and Ashton-Tate can
* not know the performance capabilities of the end users
* hardware they always reduce program performance to the
* lowest common demoninator.
*
* To unlock the hidden speed and performance in ANY
* Dbase program simply run this program before executing
* the .PRG program. Unless you have a very old and slow
* machine you will see amazing results!
*
* No guarantee of actual performance is expressed or implied.

SET TALK OFF
CLEAR
* Make a soft patch in the program
