I looked at a number of products a few years back for use in our shop and 
settled on PFE (Passport File Editor) from Oasis Software. It was very 
close to DBU in terms of features, but came in at half the price. They've 
now merged with Linoma and appear to sell the editor[1] (now File 
Access/400) at $999. One thing I like is the ability to create PFE macros 
which are a bit like DFUs on steroids - very handy.

Having said that, quite a few of our staff prefer to use WRKDBF, so they 
must think it's pretty good too. I can't comment on support issues as 
both have worked fine, so we've never needed it.

Regards, Martin
