I would not build a production system on vp/ix. Too much of a resource hog. Why don't you look at one of the dBase - based packages like SBT and run it under the unix version of FoxBase? That should be a good combination. I used to use the SBT accounting software as my VAR package back in the good old CP/M days. it ran well under the CP/M version of dBase II. That was my last experience so buyer beware!!! John -- John De Armond, WD4OQC | Manual? ... What manual ?!? Radiation Systems, Inc.
