Thank you for the reply and information -- as you said, there is now a new company
with a name like Versasoft, and using their old URLbut not the dbman folks -- there
is also a new software item named dbman, but it is a perl job, I think -- I used
dbman for years on an Atari St, then on Windows since 1997, and now I'm going to
try Linux. I've got the dbman 5 floppies for Atari and DOS, but I have not been
able to find anyone with them for Linux. Someday ... Thanks again for your help.
Aloha.
