dBASE for windows xp?

I am begginer in using dBASE III PLUS. I heard that it requires floppy
disks of dBASE but i don’t have. I am having Windows XP. So i request
you to help me in solving this problem and giving proper directions.
Although I have downloaded dBASE III PLUS from internet, please help
me in its configuration. If i require any other version of dBASE,
please let me know. But please note that it should be free and
available in the internet.

Waiting for your reply……..

Base
The new way to access databases

New to Version 2, BASE enables you to manipulate database data seamlessly within OpenOffice.org. Create and modify tables, forms, queries, and reports, either using your own database or BASE’s own built-in HSQL database engine. BASE offers a choice of using Wizards, Design Views, or SQL Views for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.

Maintaining your data
With BASE, you can:

Create new tables for your data – and also change them as your needs change
Maintain indexes on the tables to make data access faster
View a table in an editing grid and add, change, and delete records
Use the Report Wizard to produce impressive reports from your data
Use the Form Wizard to create ‘instant’ database applications
Using your data
Using BASE, you can not only browse your data, but also:

Perform simple (single column) or complex (multi-column) sorts
View subsets of your data with simple (one-click) or complex (logical query) filters
Create powerful queries to show your data in new ways, including summaries and multi-table views
Produce reports in a wide variety of formats using the Report AutoPilot
Technical footnotes
BASE includes a full version of the HSQL database engine, storing data in XML files. It can also access dBASE files natively for simple database work.

For more advanced requirements, BASE supports many popular databases database natively (Adabas D, ADO, Microsoft Access, MySQL), or any database through industry-standard ODBC and JDBC drivers. It also supports any LDAP compliant address book, as well as common formats such as Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Windows, and Mozilla.
