I worked on a TurboDOS implementation of DataFlex in the mid 80's. One aspect of DataFlex that was cool at the time was the ability to lock individual fields, sort of like RLOCK(). TurboDOS was, essentially, multi-user CP/M. But, and a big but, DataFlex required programs for EVERYTHING. No Dot Prompt.


Feel free to add those to the "list" but I have no personal experience with them.
