[Coco] OS-9 Databases

[Mike Hughes]

I don't have any information as to version number as the only thing currently in my possession is the manual with an addendum sheet. Nowhere in that does any version number appear.  I vaguely remember that the reason I did not pursue learning its version of a "database" was that it was abominably slow.  Whether its failure to meet my needs resulted in data loss or not, I never got deep enough into it to find out.

Hi,

It sure was not, it destroyed your data.

I cannot even find my second version, or did they just keep adding only to 
the right most field? RTSI has .03, I have .05, .06 handy.

O16_1 Data Master v01.00.06
