-
- Tons of new commands and some people don't want to learn them?
-
- I have upgraded every step from III+ and vastly prefer the new features.
- While dBASE IV 1.0 was a buggy memory hog, I had no problems with 1.1
- and 1.5 is even better, though I wish they had allowed the TEDIT
- (external editor) command to swap dBASE to disk the way the RUN() function
- does, but at least you can set up a hot key to do that.
