>Isn't (wasn't) SCO Unix/Xenix a Microsoft product? I thought I had seen an MS copyright on the install diskettes (been a while!). DbaseIV and FoxBASE+ also run on those platforms. DBASE IV had the compound indexes. I have heard that an outfit here has 400 dumb-terminals connected to a Unix FoxBASE or FoxPRO engine.

Don't think SCO Xenix was a Microsoft branded product, but they did have a partial ownership stake at one time. I remember using a SCO Xenix system running on a 486 with 16MB of ram and having 25 users on an SCO FoxBase application, but 400? Wow!
