I used dBase in the 80s and I must assume that since it still seems to 
have a demand, that users are still out there and happy with it.  It did 
have some nice features, such as the programming capability, which is 
why I tried to import my files into LO rather than reinvent the wheel.  
I suspect most of the users are "on the other side of the pond", since I 
rarely hear of dBase users here in the US.  Then again, Fortran is still 
active too.  It takes a long time for that flywheel to coast to a stop.
