What is dBase?
A very early PC non-SQL (not exactly “NoSQL”) relational database.
How do I use DBase in Windows 98?
dBase was a breakthrough product, the first μ-processor DB, and for that matter a primitive predecessor of important tools like Perl, but it was later eclipsed by clones and then by various SQL products.
If I wanted something similar today I would just use Ruby, ActiveRecord, and MySQL.
How do I install DBase?
But if you want the real thing, and something that will run on Win98 (gods, but why?) I would look up dBASE on Wikipedia and see if the downstream products like FoxPro and Clipper are available. See also dBase, LLC.
Also note that many of today’s quite powerful DBMS packages can read dbf files.
