I just came back from a PC user's group meeting where we had someone from
Fox Software demonstrating FoxPro, which is a non-windows database. Although a
DOS application, the user interface of FoxPro is very windows-like. The mouse
is used extensively, and the use of menu bars, dialog boxes, resizeabe and
movable windows etc. etc. is very similar to the operating environment of
Windows. the representative from FoxPro said that the user interface was
written with Windows in mind, and that very likely Fox would come out with a
Windows version next year.

Omnis 5's handling of database queries is rather complex and contorted. If you plan to have your users do a lot of predefined searches and queries, Omnis 5 is fine. But if your users are going to do a lot of different queries, I might suggest you use Omnis 5 as a front-end development tool and use an SQL server to do all your queries. If anyone is interested, feel free to send me mail. Or give the people who made Omnis 5, Blyth & Associates, a call at (415) 572-0222. NOTE: I have no association with Blyth & Associates other than a user of Omnis 5. Thank you and happy hunting! Actually: Ethan M.

SQLWindows comes with a single-user SQL database server called DBWINDOW.EXE that runs on the same computer as the SQLWindows client application. You access both the local database as well as a remote server from a SQLWindows application.
