- Thanx for the info... Ok, so 4D gets no use from it, but does Acius
- expect us to use their products alone on the Mac? Plenty of other
- stuff I do is dependent for speed on my cache. I have 8M RAM in
- my 'puter. Is 4D really capable of using all that? Only, I imagine,
- if I have a db that's that size, which I won't. Why doesn't Acius
- give some more detail about that in their install info? Oh, well.
