Hi!  I am looking at various RDBMS and have come across mention of a product 
called "Progress" (which is also the name of the company, I believe).  I
understand that it's multi-platform and runs under Unix and DOS (at least).
Has anyone had any experience actually *using* this system?  Is it any good?
Is it easy to use?  How big of an application can it handle?  Is the language
sane and/or rational to use (please... no COBOL!)?

Any and all experience/information/rumors would be appreciated!  

Thanks!

-Eric
