The UNIFY RDBMS does run on the 4D series, along with their ACCELL 4GL
(Note that Accell treats the IRIS console as an ASCII terminal, and does
not use the gl at all for interface -- no more mouse than you get with
a wsh).  I'm not too sure exactly who to contact, probably Unify Corp
would be best. I was involved in the technical side of the port to the
4D. I have been running it successfully for many months now. You will
need OS release 4D1-3.1 or later. It will not take advantage of the
multiple processors in the 4D120, but then DBMS's in general are disk-IO
bound, not CPU bound.
