- I currently have a job offer with a company that manages a large
- database project with something called File Pro. I know NOTHIN about
- it nor have I ever heard of it. Can someone give me some solid
- information on this product or point me in the right direction for
- information?
-
- I'd like a comparison to something like FoxPro or dBase, which I've
- used, to give me a point of reference. The company showed me a little
- of the code and it looks like a glorified dBase or some kind of
- "front-end" to me.
-
- I'm really concerned with how easy or complicated the package is.
- How long would it take me to learn it. I'm asked, would it be a
- challenge to learn and work with? If not, I don't think I want the
- job as a significant portion of the job deals with programming this
- database. ANY, and I mean ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
- (I'm done ranting now)
