Fox Software has a program called Foxbase + which works very well.  It
is completely dBase III+ compatible, and creates psuedo-code.  It kicks
dBase's ass under MSDOS.  The Santa Cruz Operation has the exclusive
marketing rights to the UNIX version.  We have it running undex SCO
XENIX 386 and are very happy with its performance.  It even deals
intelligently with the printer spooler!  I'm not sure what machines it
is supported on, but SCO could tell you.  They are at 1-800-GET-UNIX.
