   Foxbase+ is licensed directly from SCO (Not Fox Software).
We bought our original copy from MicroAge (Sunnyvale).  Its a dBase3
clone, but is missing some minor features.  You should be able to
move about 98% of the code directly from dBase3 (providing its currently
a multi-user application, if not, have fun -- I did)

   FoxPro for SCO should be released soon (We've been hearing that for a
while now), and rumor has it that its currently in beta testing.
As far as performance, we've been pretty satisfied.  There is a
version of dBase4 for SCO, but I haven't heard anybody raving about it.
We're waiting for FoxPro (Which will be marketed by Microsoft - Not SCO),
but we're struggling along with the limitations of a 6 year old product.

   There's also a version of clipper out there I believe, but don't know
what that is like.

Good luck!
