The depths of time.... :-) Valentina DB started out originally as a C++ library for Mac OS back in 1998, after several years of advanced R&D by Ruslan (ooooo, CodeWarrior!). The XCMD format was so well established then, and several products on the market supported that. There were a lot of really cool externals around back then, some of which were made by folks who are here yet today.
