I wanted to post this clearly so Bud and Friends can see this.

I don't think any features are as important as a clear marketing strategy.

Get some big clients to do a spread on the way they use filePro.

Get a big celebrity to endorse it.  Bill Gates says "I love filePro".

Get a partnership with some company that will get our name in the market.

Get a spot on the Superbowl.

Get the software in the Radio Shack stores.

Get books in the book stores.

Get people to haunt forums of DB developer people for Windows/Unix/Linux 
and post heres what I do with filePro.  With emphasis on speed and easy 
of use - stability of data storage - cross-platform development.

Have Ken figure out a way to automate these postings and let them rip.

Find a software company that needs a database management product line 
and talk to them about a partnership.

There has got to be some brillant minds out there that have money and 
need somewhere to invest to grow a company with a product like filePro. 
  They put money into all the .coms and they needed to start from 
scratch.  We got something aready done, just needs the right kind of 
backing.

I know that many of these things require capital, but some are cheap. 
Start where you can.  Do what you can.
