We have a client who is about to begin developing/implementing a
Progress application, and he wants to know which of OS/2 or DOS
will give him the best performance in a networked environment (with,
of course, networked clients).

We're primarily a Unix shop so we have no data on this.

Apparently hardware config isn't a problem (they'll be using a 386/25
with as much RAM and disk as it takes), nor is the notion of
dedicating the machine as a database server.

If anyone out there in netland has any ideas or experience with this,
we would greatly appreciate your input.

AdTHANKSvance (and a merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all).
