Servers (ex. Unix, DOS, NetWare) 2. Client front-ends (ex. MS-Windows, OSF/Motif, Open Look, OS2 PM, Macintosh) 3. Networks (ex. TCP/IP, IPX) 4. Databases supported (ex. Oracle, Informix, Sybase, etc.) 5. GUI portability across client platforms Popular client-server development tools are: 1. JAM from JYACC (GUI portable across multiple platforms and windowing systems, no runtime licenses) 2. Uniface (GUI portable across multiple windowing systems - Informix support is suspect) 3. Gupta SQL Windows (MS Windows GUI support; good prices) 4. Power Builder from PowerSoft (MS Windows GUI support; versatile development platform) 5. Uniplus from Uniplex (Unix GUI tool) 6. Object View from KnowledgeWare (MS Windows GUI support) All these tools come with their own 4GL language and GUI development libraries for building widgets.
