Performance should be acceptable. Memory requirements for 20 local R4GL users is about 20MB and about 10 MB if the users are remote so that will not be a real problem. C4GL local users will need a bit more memory but not much. Remember 4GL was written in the days when memory was dear so, except for D4GL X-users, 4GL memory requirements are small. Art S. Kagel
