John -

This I have found on X-BASE; thanks to Charles P. Reuben. Any thoughts on the business implications?

I'd guess that Charlie's guesstimates are close enough for govt work.

I looked in a PC Applications Encyclopedia. They listed:
- 3056 'publishers'
- 20,727 unique titles
- 630 subject headings

Of course these numbers DO NOT cover any custom development done by your favorite cousin Lewie who was regarded as the family computer whiz at age 16 & wrote lots of 'way cool' xBase stuff when he had that summer job.... you get the picture.
