I only can write that I have, from about 3 years, about 600 cobol programs
for invoicing, stock, accounting, and so on ..., working for books shops,
editors and books warehouses, with O-C (0.23.19), PostgeSQL (with the
help of Rildo Pragana, the main developper of T-C), and a little of SQL,
"C" and Perl.   
IMO and the customers, its works better than the previous ten years or more
working with M*F and C-Isam ...
 but perhaps I am myself better or less worse ^-)
In the previous years, this was working with only ONE PC and some ASCII
terminals and now with a LAN and about 12 PCs.

Regards,
