-
- This discette contains a full and complete version of the pBASE
- program, some sample programs and a subset of the documentation.
-
- A COMPLETE program and documentation package may be obtained for
- the nominal fee of $35 (CA residents add tax) from:
-
- 4B Associates

- Pinole, CA 94564
-
- Please write us about bugs, improvments and application programs.
-
- The user-supported concept...
-
- User-supported software is an experiment in program distribution,
- based on a belief that:
-
- - the value and utility of software is best assessed by the
- end-user on his/her computer.
-
- - the creation and evolution of personal computer programs
- can and should be supported by end-users.
-
- - copying of computer programs should be encouraged, rather
- than restricted.
-
- - computer programs are too expensive for the casual user.
-
-
- PLEASE JOIN THE EXPERIMENT!
