 ==History==
-A [[CP/M]] database system introduced in 1980 as '''dBASE II''' and was quickly ported to most common 8-bit platforms. It was ported to [[DOS]] in 1982 and later to OS/2 and [[MS Windows]] and became an industry standard in the early to mid 80s and the basis of the [[xBase]] language, but declined rapidly in the 90s when it could not keep up with the competition. In 1991 Ashton-Tate was sold to Borland International.
