Progress 9.1C IDE/Client for Linux

Hello, I know there is no Progress GUI for Linux, but the Unix version has a sample character-based IDE (I have used it on a previous job), like the old DOS IDE for Turbo Pascal o Quick Basic, V.G.

Has the Linux version of Progress 9.1C something like that?


And: Is there a Linux Client?

I'm about to install Progress 9.1C on my Ubuntu PC, and wold like to connect to that database from the same Ubuntu session.


Thanks!
 
9.1C is ancient, obsolete and unsupported.

You can use "the editor" or "the tram lines" if you really want to but it would be quite a stretch to call it an IDE. Just start a session without a "-p startup.p" option and you will be "in the editor" and ready to go.

Type "quit" followed by F1 (or control-x) to return to a command line.
 
Thanks,Tom, but buying a new Progress Version is still in discussion here, even if it is ancient, etc.

I guess "the editor" is what I met in Progres 8.3 for Unix. (What is "tram lines"?)


And is there a Linux client?
 
"The editor", aka the "tram lines" looks something like this:

Code: 
File Edit Search Buffer Compile Tools Help
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────















─ File: Untitled:2 ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────


 F1=RUN  F3=MENUS  F5=OPEN  F6=SAVE  F8=CLOSE                                    Insert

That is what the Linux client looks like when you start it "naked" (no startup procedure).

"Tram lines" refer to the way the two horizontal rules look something like railroad tracks -- or, in some places, "tram lines".
 
Exactly that´s what I remebered. Not very nice, but....

I will install the awfully ancient (but still good) Progress 9.1C and we will see what happen.

Thank you, Tom!
