I have heard a rumour that there will be a Progress
( Progress Language Corporation) front end appearing for Oracle RDBMS systems.

Is this true ??  

If so when will it be available ??

Will source code from Progress run unchanged on this produce ??
( provided the tables exist )?? 

Will the data dictionary features be available ??

I assume this will be an additional cost ??

Even if some of the features are added to Oracle, I will be able to write
a customised application, without having to spend a long time working out
those horrible triggers within SQL*Forms.

Thankyou for any information.
