In general, it's good to announce your affiliation with a product more explicitly (though the S/N gives a good indication).  You are also welcome to post in the announce your product section.  And welcome to the site!

One question- there's no indication of format of the files, nor exports, other than the blurb

Convenient plain zip file format enabling users to view and modify records, tables and embedded files/images even without using GS-Base.

What format are the files internally?  And does the coupon apply to the bundle also?

Thanks. Yes, it's as the nick suggests - I'm the author of GS-Base.

Re: the default file format, this is a native/private ("partially binary") file format. Nevertheless it should be quite safe as all the data is stored in the zip file in its original format. That is, tables with records as plain utf-8 text files, memo files as *.txt or *.rtf files etc.
To clarify this better I just uploaded a page from the help file:

http://www.citadel5.com/help/gsbase/file_format.htm
(Just one page at this time.)

The supported file formats are listed on the homepage: dBase, Clipper, FoxPro, text, XML, Excel XML, HTML, PDF. (XML, PDF - export only.)

The coupon is valid for GS-Base licenses only.

Hm, having a data-file extension of .txt seems quite unsafe to me, even when 'hidden' inside a .zip or .gsb archive. I'd have opted for something less prone to unwanted editing, like .gst (GS-Base Table).

Personally, I like having data in a universal format.  Munging the file name doesn't really do anything in the end, IMO.  I did some testing, and it's definitely worth the price- at least to me.  I'll be posting a mini-review.
