Cheetah

[SeaVipe]

Does anyone know of a Cheetah like app that would integrate well into FB/WinFBE? I have a lot of DBase III (Clipper etc.) files that I need to pour over and I'd rather not learn SQLite3 (if I don't have to!).

As good as dBase was back in the day, I'd strongly recommend upgrading to SQLite because SQLite is absolutely fantastic. I imagine that there may exist utilities that can convert dBase files to SQLite files.

I suppose I'll just have to let go of dBase III+!

I had to let go of dBase as well several years ago. Don't be too scared off because of SQL. It is very easy especially if you are not doing anything extremely complex. You will be amazed at just how much coding it saves you. Also, with SQLite, you get variable length text fields which was a huge bonus over dBase where you had to use separate memo files.
