Mailbag – Editor’s Mail

I received some interesting things in the mailbag this week. I have been on the Kaypro board keeping in contact with our old friend Charles Stelding and Ed Grey. I had asked Charles if the AERCO system would really READ a Morrow MD3 format as it is advertised to do. It is nice to have someone who has already been through this. Ed Grey has been ‘missing’ from the mailbag for a while, but he brings some interesting news. I also answered a message about dBASE II and some books that I had seen at Lolir #5, here in Fort Worth. The answer I got back was from Norman Peavy and Jim Coburn. Jim, in particular, was the originator of the message. I also suggested to him, since he was working a DOS version of dBASE III+ that he might like to try one of the fieldless databases, Findex or DataFax. His reply was interesting. I would like to see his program at work.
