- Mike, I just saw Clip4Win's ad this month (it was not in the December
- Databased Advisor). It didn't make clear whether that product provides
- a true GUI with Clipper access to .DLLs the way Dolce Vita does. Can
- you tell from the demo if it's a true Windows environment or just a
- Windows kludge of a text environment?
-
- If Clip4Win does real windowing and not just CUA (the way Provision:Windows
- does), I'd be more inclined to trust a Greg Lief product. I, too, was
- disconcerted by the two database engines that invited themselves onto my
- desktop when I fired up the DV demo.
