Our company is looking at moving our accounting and customer support systems from a DOS network environment to UNIX (probably a SUN-4). It's all written in dbase III. Have there been any comparisons of the various UNIX dbase clones? Any suggestions from real users? B.t.w., we're looking for a contractor/consultant to do this job also. Thanx.

There is only one package that I know of. It is called FOXBASE. It runs under SCO XENIX, and is supposed to run under SCO UNIX/386, which means it should also run under anybody else's UNIX/386, like ATT & Interactive. Foxbase is a dbase II close, foxbase+ is a dbaseIII clone. You can call SCO at (800) 726-8649 and get a q&a sheet that says what compatibility/in-compatibility the package may have w/ the dbase origonals. This is not ment to be an SCO advertisement though. I'm just saying that here is a place to start. Good Luck, Matthew. Snail Mail: E Mail: Matthew J.
