dBFast 1.x

dBFast is a dBase application compiler for DOS, the Microsoft Windows environment, and Macintosh. The DOS version was considered very limited and buggy. The Windows version was first released in 1989 for Windows 2.x, and supposedly the first "relational" database for Windows.

With dBFast for Windows, it was possible to bring existing text-mode dBase application in to the Microsoft Windows environment with few changes. Windows specific features include support for mouse, buttons, menus, Dynamic Data Exchange, graphing, and graphics data fields.

dBFast competed against Clipper and FoxBase, but it lacked many desired language features.

It later became CA-dBFast, and although not very successful, continued on bundled with other development tools.
