I have a potential customer who wants to upgrade from a 10 year old installation of Xenix and home grown Dataflex applications. He would like to stick with his applications if possible. He is shying away from SCO due to the cost. Is there an opportunity here to either convert dataflex applications to some database application running under FreeBSD, or is it possible to run Xenix/SCO Dataflex under FreeBSD in IBCS2 mode? If we can't do this, I'm aftraid we've lost him to NT!
