   It was dBase II based with a runtime engine and was actually pretty cool for   
   it's time. I ran my    
   inventory for my electrical contracting business on it and even wrote a   
   compiled Basic bridge program to download a text file from a Tandy Model 100   
   into the Friday database. I carried the Model 100 with me and used the barcode   
   wand to scan parts as I    
   pulled them off the service truck in the field. I was working on a Turbo   
   Pascal rewrite of that program when Windows hit the scene and I stopped   
   coding.

   backed binders in the slipcover cases.
