[Digression: While you are at it, could you make it so I could point
the query language at a directory of XML documents (instead of XQuery)?
There is a big gap in the XML space for an easy-to-use query language
(perhaps you could add the update processor to it too)? ]

Makes sense.

The web site calls it MultiValue BASIC

Good. Thanks.

I like to put in the pedigree for different flavors. This would be a
clean room version, right? I would think it would be fair to say that
was influenced by jBASE to the extent that you had such information in
your brain, correct? Thanks a bunch and good luck with the upcoming
