Re: WRKDBF musings ...

Bill,

I would certainly like to see you make a new version available to the user 
community.  It is a great program for a quick way to make changes to a 
file.

No, it does not have all the fancy stuff some of the other commercial 
products have, but it does what I need it to do.

I would definitely be willing to pay for a supported version of WRKDBF 
since it will still  be much, much cheaper than the commercial 
alternatives.

Thank you,
