  16. Have you considered RECITAL? It is xBase which runs under UNIX. Said to be
  17. dBase III IV compliant. If your PCs and MACs can do AIX or X-Windows, they
  18. should all be able to share the db, without the inherant weaknesses of two
  19. "synchronous" data bases which you have if duplicating for both platforms.
