   Our current customer base is very reluctant to jump into the new
   technology of client/server. We plan to use MS-WINDOWS based frontends
   and initially GUPTA for a database on the backend.

Client/server is new technology?  It's only been around in the
workstation world for 5-10 years.  I believe the workstation world now
is moving more to peer-peer computing in a truly distributed manner.
Client/server has difficulty scaling to large numbers of systems and
is most appropriate for systems in which the server is much more
powerful than the client.
