Does anyone have any >suggestions. I have no idea what is out there. I have been using PROGRESS through several revisions, and I am very happy with it. It is source compatible with versions on the IBM PC, VMS, and an incredible number of UNIX flavors. There is also a version for use on a LAN (I don't know which one). It is too complex, and upgrading is too active, for it to be bug-free, but it is very useable, and the support is very good. It gets good reviews, and good user satisfaction reports in the trade press.
