I've never heard of Ebase. (Maybe DBase?) So I took a look at the Ebase.org website. To download ebase, one needs to fill out an online application with an email address, address. Small *snip* from the website. "All fields in the form below are required to have data in them. Download instructions will be sent to your email address." And of course, this one-liner from the front page, "ebase can help you raise more money" Me pokes pun here and says, "Does this mean if I download 600MB of free software, I should be rich by now?" ;-) Another thing, Ebase seems not to be present within Gentoo's Portage. Nor does a proposed ebuidld or any mention appear in any bug reports. I do very little work with databases these days, but just thought I'd put in my two cents. Why Ebase? Are there compatibility reasons? -- Roger http://www.eskimo.com/~roger/index.html Key fingerprint = 8977 A252 2623 F567 70CD 1261 640F C963 1005 1D61 Fri Apr 20 12:14:54 PDT 2007 _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list euglug@euglug.org http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
