+1 for me.
I am correct in thinking that SBase 4 pro is the same as SuperBase? I use it along with a program called Retail Escort which uses Sbase as the underling database. I would be interested in getting work done on both programs.

| @Drakken,
From what I understand SB4 sources are available, It just needs to be updated. Looks to be no interest to the folks that can handle such things.

| @whose,
I'm no coder, just a user. Wouldn't know where to start or who to hand it off to for updating. From what they tell me it's mostly basic and really needs an update to be fast and serious. Anyone up for this???

I think it´s up to the conditions, if somebody with coding skills would touch it. For me, I would like to know if it´s SuperBase4 Pro source code and if it´s planned to make it a commercial thing or something free.
Btw., what means "serious"? |

| @whose,
SB4 Pro source is available. By serious I mean commercially viable, a money maker able to be as good as any other commercial Database.

| @Severin,
This is the response I received from them.
"Thanks for the heads up. How many people would you say are currently involved/interested in a Superbase for the Amiga?
It is important to recognize that the Superbase 4 product for the AmigaOS only represents a fairly old version of Superbase, with a basic form designer and a fairly limited version of BASIC as a programming language. Superbase moved on on the Windows platform by implementing a banded report writer (graphical reports), a modern basic using SUBs and FUNCTIONs with event-based programming, and later on an object-BASIC enhancement.
The current incarnation is a full rewrite that runs on Windows and Linux and which uses wxWidgets for its cross-platform GUI components. We took a brief look and noted that wxWidgets has an AmigaOS port, but it was not clear how stable or complete that port is.
For technical information about the current version of Superbase (Next Generation using SIMPOL), you can visit the SIMPOL website at www.simpol.com."
Ciao, Neil
Chris

I think that you've mistaken. The program itself is not written in BASIC, but the language it uses inside for constructing databases is based in BASIC. Thus, I bet that this app, was written in 68k assembler for speed and compactness, or at least with C. Just my thought. _________________

| @Phantom,
" basic form designer and a fairly limited version of BASIC ".
Looks like Basic from what I read.

I agree with Phantom.
I have found some release notes from an old attempt at porting SBase to OS4 which say it was converted from K&R C to ANSI C.
Don't ask, I won't say anything else I know as even the above info is covered by an NDA but I don't think I'm revealing any serious secrets with what I said...
