[...essen]

I want to write a user-friendly, "all-in-one"-type system for a limousine
sales/rental business.  I have a few DEC Rainbow microcomputers (one of
which has a 5 megabyte Winchester disk).  They are currently running both
CP/M and MS-DOS operating systems.

What I would like is some expert input as to programming languages that
run on either of these operating systems.  I am looking for the language
which would be best able to handle (most flexibility) file I/O operations
on indexed/direct (keyed) access files.  Multiple-keying is much preferred.
