We use Accell IDS which is the Unify 4.0 relational data base with Accell 4GL,
and think it's a great product.  Frankly, we just haven't had many problems
and have been able to do everything desired without needing any C language
hooks.  Our major application has 150 screen forms, 58 data tables, 600,000
plus records, and the data base size is approaching 100 mb.

There also is an email list in place for Unify product users that is sponsered
by the Northern California Unify User's Group.  This probably handles some
traffic that might otherwise appear in comp.databases.  But, even its traffic
is not heavy.

There are a bunch of Unify Accell developers.  I guess we're all just busy
processing transactions :-)?  Or, "if it ain't broke, why try to fix it?"

Okay, flame away :-)!!!
