R:Base 5.0 (Win)

R:Base, from Microrim and first released in 1983, was a popular relational database that competed with Ashton Tate's dBASE product. R:Base was the first relational database for the IBM PC, also notable as earlier relational databases typically required more powerful hardware. R:Base also includes a form and report generator that is optimized for the capabilities of the IBM PC and features the ability to add or remove fields without losing data or relationships.

installed this yesterday in windows xp and it works fine. I burned the images to physical floppies, since i had a stack of 3.5" laying about. There are 2 install files on the disk1. setup.exe and wsetup.exe. I tried executing setup.exe in a dos window and I didn't see anything going on so I clicked wsetup.exe in windows xp. still nothing, I was getting ready to pull the floppy out and give up, when I got a popup saying rbase was preparing setup, after that everything ran smooth and I followed the prompts. After it was installed I closed the installer, and behind it was a message saying only one setup can run at a time, so I don't know if the dos setup would have worked. But the windows one did.

here's the sample report printed to screen

the tutorial file are also included in this distribution.
