The History of FoxPro - Ashton-Tate People Tate died at age 40 on August 10, 1983 and fortunately never saw his company go down in flames in a suicidal copyright lawsuit against Fox Software in which Ashton-Tate lost because it was discovered they never really owned the rights to the original Vulcan product. Ashton Tate consisted of George Tate, Hal Lashlee, Nelson Tso and Myself. He held the position of Director of Product Quality at Ashton Tate where he was responsible for the quality of all products released by the company, which had $400M/yr. www.foxprohistory.org /people_ashton.htm   (2062 words)

d2r: ashton tate and SCO v. IBM Ashton was a macaw that lived in the lunch room at George Tate's software company, Ashton-Tate, home of dBase II, the first successful microcomputer database. There was George Tate, himself, who died at his desk when he was only 40, but still managed to get married two weeks later (by proxy -- please explain that one to me). There was the macaw, of course, which was named for the company, not the other way around. www.dynamicobjects.com /d2r/archives/002118.html   (225 words)

dbase.htm There never was an Ashton and there never was a dBase I. But the II inspired greater confidence on the part of the buyer (that the bugs had been ironed out in version I), and Ashton-Tate sounded more British/European, giving it an International flavor. The IBM PC version was called dBase II and the company formed was Ashton-Tate. Tate bought the rights to Vulcan and hired Ratliffe for the new company formed to create the IBM PC version and market it. www.ric.edu /mrodrigues/newillusions/dbase.htm   (441 words)

quinn wildman - Friday, June 18, 2004 Entries The funny part was that Ashton the bird (who sat in a nearby atrium) had a habit of frequently squawking something that sounded like "Bad Ap!". The founder of the company, George Tate, had died of heart attack 3 months previous. (It should be noted Ashton worked out to be a bird.) The director of support was Jay Hansen, the manager was Roy Moore. blogs.borland.com /quinnwildman/archive/2004/06/18.aspx   (2966 words)

Blogger: Email Post to a Friend They felt Ashton Tate sounded better than Lashley Tate. We wrote Improv and Ashton Tate built a NeXT spreadsheet called PowerStep.

ashton-tate.html According to Ross, once it became clear to Wigginton that Ross and Bravo were not interested in having Ashton-Tate publish the spreadsheet, Wigginton informed Ross that he was going to work for Ashton- Tate and was going to take the user interface portion of the MacCalc prototype with him. On April 4, 1989, the district court issued a published order granting Ashton- Tate's motion for summary judgment on all issues. The court held that even if there was an agreement to collaborate, Ross's contribution of ideas to the user interface written by Wigginton was insufficient to make Ross a joint author of the interface. cyber.law.harvard.edu /metaschool/fisher/joint/links/cases/ashton-tate.html   (3914 words)

I, Cringely . June 19, 2003 - What Goes Around Comes Around PBS Think about it.  Ashton-Tate's claim on dBase was, in many ways, similar to SCO's current claim on derivative UNIX works.  They both ignored upstream property rights of others.  What is ironic about this is that Fox Software wasn't the only company sued by Ashton-Tate for this supposed copyright violation.  Fox's co-defendant was SCO. Which brings us back to Ashton the macaw.  When Ashton-Tate sued Fox Software for copyright infringement in 1988, the suit was eventually thrown out because Ashton-Tate was shown to have made false statements in its original copyright application for dBase II.    Unfortunately, it would take IBM months to recognize such a golden opportunity and more months to approve a plan.  Probably every IBMer who sells or supports products in this "space" (IBMspeak) understands the situation.  But when your leadership is too unaware and too lethargic, well opportunities are missed. www.pbs.org /cringely/pulpit/pulpit20030619.html   (527 words)

An Open Letter to the Dbase Language Community Re Ashton-Tate/Fox Software Lawsuit Fox Sof According to George Tate himself, this marketing strategy was calculated to extend the acceptance and influence of the dbase language as widely as possible and, thereby, to maximize Ashton-Tate's market share. Ashton-Tate's only concern was possible infringement on the trademarked name "dBASE"; at no time did Ashton- Tate suggest that the use of or the attempt to standardize the language constituted copyright infringement. In January of 1984, Fox Software advised George Tate, CEO of Ashton-Tate, and Wayne Ratliff, then an Ashton-Tate Vice-President, that Fox had developed a dBASE II workalike. www.skepticfiles.org /mys2/foxsuitl.htm   (1629 words)

Database marketing secures Oracle future The Ashton-Tate story got interesting when the company founder, George Tate, died and Es Esber, his second-in-command, took over. DBase was one of the first desktop relational databases, and the DBase file format still lives on in products such as XBase and Microsoft Foxbase. Esber fancied himself as a business guru and intended to bring a bit of 'professionalism' to the company. www.dba-oracle.com /oracle_news/2004_6_29_rittman.htm   (1763 words)

Euan Garden's BLOG : SQL MythBusters – "SQL Server is really a Sybase product not a Microsoft one." At this point the partnership between Microsoft and Ashton Tate was dissolved and the product became Microsoft SQL Server (there are still a few members of the dev team that were around in the original days and proudly have their Ashton-Tate/Microsoft SQL Server boxes in their offices). At the time the leader in the “PC” database systems (non mainframe/mini/UNIX) was a product from Ashton Tate called dBase (my first database app was written using dBase III+ on DOS 3.3). Originally dBase IV was supposed to have provided a dev tool/front end for SQL Server (hence the original partnership) but the problems with dBase IV after its release later in the year led to this falling by the wayside. blogs.msdn.com /euanga/archive/2006/01/19/514479.aspx   (2667 words)

An Open Letter to the Dbase Language Community Re Ashton-Tate/Fox Software Lawsuit Fox Sof Ashton-Tate approached Fox in November of 1986 on the pretense of purchasing FoxBASE+ and marketing it as a developer's version of dBASE III Plus. Ashton-Tate's only concern was possible infringement on the trademarked name "dBASE"; at no time did Ashton- Tate suggest that the use of or the attempt to standardize the language constituted copyright infringement. In conjunction with these discussions, one of which Ashton-Tate tape recorded, Ashton-Tate induced Fox to disclose, in confidence, details of FoxBASE+ and to provide Ashton-Tate with details of the proprietary, secret structure and algorithms used in FoxBASE+. www.skepticfiles.org /mys2/foxsuitl.htm   (159 words)

ashton-tate.html According to Ross, once it became clear to Wigginton that Ross and Bravo were not interested in having Ashton-Tate publish the spreadsheet, Wigginton informed Ross that he was going to work for Ashton- Tate and was going to take the user interface portion of the MacCalc prototype with him. In March, Wigginton made a presentation to employees of Ashton-Tate, one of the Nation's largest software publishers, to see if Ashton-Tate might be interested in publishing the spreadsheet program he and Ross were developing. While the court was correct to hold that the user interface is not a "joint work" as a result of Ross's contribution to the interface itself, the court did not resolve whether Ross's copyrightable contribution to the engine of the MacCalc engine entitled him to an undivided interest in the entire prototype, including the interface. cyber.law.harvard.edu /metaschool/fisher/joint/links/cases/ashton-tate.html   (3914 words)

The History of FoxPro - People That Began The History He was known as the guru of the dBASE products at Ashton-Tate, and was the architect of the dBASE language and responsible for its components for all versions of dBASE III and dBASE IV, with the exception of the initial dBASE version. In mid-1983, Ashton-Tate purchased the dBASE II technology and copyright from Ratliff and he joined Ashton-Tate as vice president of new technology. RETRIEVE was used by Jet Propulsion Laboratory of Pasadena,Calif. In the late 60’s Jeb Long, a new programmer at JPL, was assigned the task of writing a program which would perform the same functions as RETRIEVE. www.foxprohistory.org /people_began.htm   (664 words)
