The current release of MaxBase is v1.18 dated July, the 11th 1998, built upon RXDBase v1.18, July the 11th 1998.

First of all, thanks for evaluating and using MaxBase! This is a fairly big and comprehensive suite of database tools that will help you manage your information and share them with your colleagues, clients and friends. There are tools for the developer, end user and consultant -- all of them are the result of years of experience that I have put together as a developer, end user and consultant in the field of databases. I hope that you will find this product as useful and fun to use as I am!

Many thanks to Giuseppe Aprile for his great .dbf to .dat conversion utilities, Pierantonio Marchesini for his NetRexx tutorial (of which I have a copy right next to Mike Cowlishaw's "The NetRexx Language" book), Andrea Resmini for his very helpful work on the artworks, html-ization of this document and the web pages. A big thank you to goes also to Scott Stanchfield for his TabSplitter widget -- a must have for every Java developer. Also I'd like to thank all of the testers who have helped me while I was (but I still am and will be!) developing MaxBase. Thanks saCUL, Penny, Dennis, Brian and all the others! (The list is getting long :-))

Sayonara!
