Paragon Software have been developing a shareware GIS that's based in MS WIndows env. It is very comprehensive and has full BASIC language and ODBC support.
They are looking for poeple to help in testing, to see it its a worthwhile project. I gather its composed of 40,000 + lines of C++ and is very comprehensive in functionality. It should be possible to use an Oracle DB.
This software will be available for around $100 if it goes into production.
