Greetings:

I am working with JAC and their jBase Product 
(http://www.jac.com). The are willing to port it if 
I can come up with some hardware and a some cash. 

Pick is a database "thing" that has been around
awhile. If cobol is a shark then pick is an
alligator... Rough around the edges and hard to 
get rid of but very effective at what it does.

Would Anyone like to help on this project?

I have most of the machine - I need a scsi
cdrom and 72 pin simm 8 meg of ram to finish it off.

I have an ada1542/microp 525/ sankyo 525 qic/ 3.5 floppy/
case and ps/ vga monitor and standard vga card/486/66mhz
with no mem. 

I currently run vmark universe 6.3.4.2 on sco 3.2.4.2 
and would like to migrate to FreeBSD and jBase. I'm not a
super guru and I am limited by funds. Agreed maybe I could 
get the linux version to run on freebsd but this is to be
a production mach. I'm still on the learning curve for 
FreeBSD.

Once ported they will support it. Currently jBase runs on
just about every unix, SunOs, OSR 5, HP-UX, AIX, etc...
(expect sco 3.2.4.x and older - something to do with how share 
mem segments are "unique")
 	
Thanks for reading...

mail me if you are interested.
