Recital is a dBase/Clipper/Foxbase compatable system for many, many Unix
platforms (AIX/386-IX/VAX/SCO/more).  I got some litterature on it and was 
*very* impressed.  Apparently, one can take Clipper code (my specialty) and
convery it straight to Recital.  I don't think it uses the same .dbf files, 
but there's probably a conversion utility.  Prices seemed reasonable.             
Look in a DATABASED ADVISOR magazine or a PROGRAMMER WORKSHOP catalog for
more details or write me and I'll try to find the info.
