I once said at a CA interview is that like Access?

That got a frosty reception.

Its a DBMS, nothing more really.

Oh and shame on you for mentioning DataEase.

Thank god CASE tools have come on since that day...

Slightly apocryphal tale maybe that when IBM released OS/2 a gardener came up with the slogan

OS/2 Warp - Its curtains for Windows.

I really do wish that was true.

On typing all of that I now realise what you are referring to is PS/2...
