[Dxbase] DXBase Yahoo Group

Mon Feb 21 19:52:42 EST 2011

Hi all
Let me clarify something:
I will always send an announcement of new releases, updated files, etc. with
a link for you to download. The Yahoo repository is the place to go if you
forget the download link or are just curious what there is available for
DXbase!
