Ha!  best you can hope for is "most".   If you want the "same" program to
run in all situations, dBase or Fox could work as DOS programs under OS/2
and Windows; or you could use dBFast undre Windows, or something else.

In a year or two you might see parallel products for all four from several
vendors, however.

Current solution?  Set up an SQL Server on an OS/2 Client/Server network
and have your choice of SQL Clients on the terminals.

FoxPro 2.0 -- WatCom C; Paradox -- Paradox Engine for C, for Pascal
Clipper 5.0 -- C.  Thos are the major produts.
