Both dBase III and dBase IV predate the acquisition by Borland. This kind of stuff is super easy to fact-check, so I'm always a bit put off by pieces which make those kinds of factual errors.
- ghaff 6y agoIn fact, it was at least in part the screwed up introduction of dBase IV that led to Borland's acquisition of Ashton-Tate.
- akx 6y agoYet the installer screenshots pretty clearly say Borland.
- ghaff 6y agoPresumably Borland rebranded after they acquired Ashton-Tate.
- CurtHagenlocher 6y agoAs per the sibling comment, Borland acquired Ashton-Tate after dBase IV 1.0 shipped in part because it was such a disastrous release. I think 2.0 was the first Borland release.
