dBASE Mac 1.x
dBase Mac, originally developed by a small company named DigiCorp and then marketed by Ashton-Tate under the dBase name, was a unique and powerful database program for the Macintosh. It featured a sophisticated graphical user interface, a procedural programming language, and the ability to access data from other databases and spreadsheets. 1.00 was released in 1987.
Other than the name, it had nothing in common with the DOS based dBase products.
It never attracted the dBase development crowd that was hoped for, suffered from performance issues and omitted some functionality found in the DOS versions. Reportedly, Ashton-Tate considered porting this product to the PC to replace their aging dBase III product, but instead went with a disastrously slow re-write that became dBase IV.
