  I have a dBASE 3 application that must remain in true, pure DOS
(Windows not allowed even if quiet).
  The size of the database files is getting large and dBASE is slowing
down, and at times "stutters".
  Does anyone have FoxPro for DOS or any other decent database language
for DOS (ie: Paradox is excluded)?
