OOPS!  FORM SETS works just fine in Suprtool.  FORM PATHS also exists in
SUPRTOOL; I simply prefer QUERY's format.  Stan Sieler's DBHTML, available
free from www.allegro.com, displays your whole DB's structure quite nicely
(as long as you don't need to print it!)

But I'll stick to my stand re SUPRTOOL vs QUERY: Anything you can do with
Query, you can do 10x better with SUPRTOOL.

Tracy,

Form sets should work in Suprtool, please let me know if it does
not!

P.S. Thanks for the kind words about Suprtool.
