Dear Modula2 users,

I am looking for libraries which would enable me to write code
in MSDOS and UNIX operating systems. I would like to write
an application which uses screen design routines and
index file system for commercial applications but should
run on both the operating systems trasparently. 
I also would like to know if anyone has used modula2 for
accesing popular RDBMS engines like Oracle, Ingres, Informix, etc.

I have been using PMI routines for sometime now and I like them
because you can run your application using different compilers
but only in the MS-DOS world. The libraries are compiler vendor
independent.

Any pointers , comments would help.

Regards
