Cornerstone
Another incredible feature of Cornerstone is the powerful date parsing and displays. For example, the program understands such things as 'Next Wednesday', making data entry a lot more intuitive and simple. The program can also import data from many other databases such as dBase II, Lotus 123, or Symphony. All things considered, Cornerstone is a truly powerful piece of software that really should have sold many more copies. Instead, the application became the catalyst for the downfall of Infocom as the company had to borrow millions of dollars in loans to fund the program's development and Infocom's misguided shift to business software, and by the time the program was finally released in 1985, it would face a much stiffer competition, especially from dBase III.
