It's really nice to know we chose the right product and company when we many years ago started using c-tree. There really wasn't much choice in those days on the Macintosh platform, but we couldn't have made a better choice. And now, when we are looking to port our applications to other platforms such as Mac OS X, Linux and Windows, c-tree is already there. Makes things so much easier for me.
