Well, you do have an old version of a great program (dont forget dBase 
is up to IV now), so, Ashton-Tate pretty much forgot about us...

If YOUVE got no qualms about piriting (sp), go right ahead and do it...
It cant hurt, since they just dont support the CP/M version anymore
What monies have they got to lose if they arent getting any to begin with?

I myself had my friend send me his latest copy (I cant read the disk
cause its on Commodore 128 format and I now have an Epson QX-10). 
Version 2.45 (I think)

If you like to goto computer shows, look around hard, cause you can always
find a vendor willing to 'unload' such obsolete software for a price

Now if the vendor still supports the CP/M version software (MicroPros     
WordStar 4, example), thats a different story... I paid $89.99 hard  
earned dollars for that!
