Care to post some figures about Dataflex usage in Canada?  Canveon?  
(BTW, I don't even known where waterloo.edu is)

[re 3.0]

SQL only for the query/reporting product I believe.

From what we've heard, they've written an object-orientated Windows/Icon/Mouse
interface - sort of like WIndows or SAA.  Big job that - hope they got it 
right!

Dataflex users here are a bit worried about when will it be released (6/12
at least?), how much (prices have already gone up here), compatibility/bugs 
(remember 2.2->2.3), dropping support for other operating systems (CCPM/DOS,
Turbodos,etc), performance of new interface on other than AT.  Hope to get
more info from the guys who went to Miami, tonight (DUG meeting).

From which it would appear that Canveon uses Unix?
