Eugene,
I will certainly be putting fields such as these in my database (not
limited to the demo apps) but you are under no compulsion to match what
I do.
How about it, folks ... does anyone see the need for other fields? If
so, name & describe 'em! :)
If I feel comfy enough with the available database engines, I might as
well take things to first normal form and make a relational database.
This would be a learning exercise in a non-DOS database for me. Up until
now, I have used Alpha4v4 for everything ... now I have to abandon that
and embrace another! :)
