Oh, and what I forgot to say in my last message. I notice you didn't mention UNIX/Sybase. If it's a decent program, I would be willing to work on a port for that (with generic interfaces for changeovers to Oracle, etc). I could really use a simple report writer.

Which brings me to a good questions. Why is it when software gets more complex, bigger, and slower, companies refer to it as a upgrade. Why can't they make it simplier and remove all the space wasting and issue confusing "features" they found people don't use?
