- Hi !
-
- I searching for information on DOS emulations under UNIX (AIX,SunOS,ULTRIX).
- We want to run a PC database program (written mainly in CLIPPER) under UNIX.
- So we do not need graphics.
- What programs are available for the different systems ? Is there anything
- usefull realeased to the public domain ?
- TIA.

- Some DOS applications have UNIX equivalents which can use the DOS
- files directly. For instance, Ashton-Tate has a version of dBASE for
- SunOS which I've used. The data files and programs transfered over
- fairly easily (I had to tweak a few things to allow multi-user
- access), and the apps ran about 2 or 3 times faster on a SparcStation
- IPC than on a 386 clone. The user interface was a bear to get running
- right at the time (1991), but supposedly Ashton-Tate has ironed that
- out by now (we had a beta version.)
