Last I heard is Mike will release 6.0 last Spring. Their website is
still in 5.x.... so what is the story?

Thanks

The story is this ...

* Release 6.0, and a completely new web site, will be released on or
before June 30, 2007.

* All purchasers of Release 5.x in calender 2007 will receive a
complimentary upgrade to an equivalent version of Release 6.0. (So, if you
want to buy 5.x now to get that upgrade, Feel Free.)

Other salient details:

(a) Release 6.0 is "32-bit only." It uses only the 32-bit BDE software.
Full table compatibility is retained.

(b) Release 6.0 includes dBase functionality, and is architected to include
FoxPro and Clipper. This, of course, is an extremely large target and we
have not hit it all yet.

(c) The focus of the product's user-interface has shifted. It is
more "database oriented" and less "job oriented" in its presentation to the
user. Job output is now XML and is presented in HTML format.

(d) Backward compatibility is retained throughout the system. To take
advantage of new features, previous jobs must be recompiled.

Thanks for asking! And, thanks for your patience.

I could be mistaken, but I thought it was advertised a year ago this time
that purchases of 5.1 would have a free upgrade to 6?

The release was seriously delayed, partly through unforseeable
circumstances. (Long-g-g-g-g story.) But it is now due by the end of June.
