Hello,

We are looking into projects that recquire multiuser ability and multitasking
would just be a boon.  I desire to move into the Unix world.  What would be
the easiest transition for a team of Clipper programmers (dBASE III+) as far
as programming languages go?  I have heard good things about Informix.  Would
we be at home or lost?  Any suggestions?
