Well sure, impressive for 1985, but that was over thirty years ago, what’s happened since? Oh. Right.
Omnis 3 Plus with an external plug-in interface
Omnis 5 with list variables
Omnis 7 with v2 DAMs
Omnis Studio with object, schema and table classes, sophisticated debugger
plugin support for video, graphs, activeX, automation, .NET
v3 DAMs for Oracle, Sybase, DB2, MySQL, PostgreSQL, FrontBase, ODBC, JDBC, SQLite
unicode support
web client, XML, rich text, pdf, web services, mobile devices
java objects, javascript client, ultraThin HTML server
plugin support for embedded browser, html controls
more

So put that in your 1985 powerhouse and see where you end up.

Thanks for that link, Bruno. I liked the part about ‘requires two single-sided 400K [floppy] disk drives, hard disk and printer recommended.’
