PROGRESS RDBMS/4GL and Accounting Pa Applications

Organization:  Zen Community of New York 

     I want to thank all who responded to <3523 at dasys1.UUCP> regarding 
RDBMS Accounting.  Suggestions have been most informative and helpful 
to me this week.  

     After looking around a bit, the PROGRESS RDBMS/4GL package has 
caught my interest very strongly.  I have yet to speak to a developer 
who has used it who has a bad word to say about it...  and there are a 
lot of accounting packages out there with the capabilities I need 
already written for it.  

     It will run on almost any hardware or O/S and share files 
transparently across a network of dissimilar machines, and there are 
very good spreadsheet and graphics programs out there that interface 
quite neatly with it.  

     In other words, it seems too damn good to be true.  What do you 
all here know about it, and the applications that run on it?  

     Waiting for my trial disk...
