DBase – DOS database management system

dBase was the first widely used database management system (DBMS) for microcomputers, published by Ashton-Tate for CP/M, and later on the Apple II, Apple Macintosh, UNIX, VMS, and IBM PC under DOS where it became one of the best-selling software titles for a number of years. dBase was slow to transition successfully to Microsoft Windows and gradually lost market share to competitors such as Paradox, Clipper, FoxPro, and Microsoft Access. Ashton-Tate was bought by Borland in 1991, which sold the rights to the product line in 1999 to the newly-formed dBase Inc. In 2004, dBase Inc. changed its name to dataBased Intelligence, Inc.
Starting in the mid 1980s many other companies produced their own dialects or variations on the product and language. These included FoxPro (now Visual FoxPro), Arago, Force, dbFast, dbXL, Quicksilver, Clipper, Xbase++, FlagShip, Recital, CodeBase, MultiBase and Harbour/xHarbour. Together these are informally referred to as xBase.
dBase’s underlying file format, the .dbf file, is widely used in many other applications needing a simple format to store structured data.

MP3 Player for DOS

Dosamp is a software audio MP3 player made by Nullsoft for DOS operating systems. The project got dropped soon in favor of WinAMP product, thus has only historical relevance by now. There is however an up-to-date DOS audio player called MPXPLAY available, unrelated to DOSamp. For more info and download click here.
