I'd forgotten about SCO Xenix/Unix: Believe it or not, the first multi-user reservation system I developed for a shipping/airline operator was written in dBase II running on Xenix with multiplexed Wyse terminals running over AC15 lines between sites.

Did a lot if stuff in dBase at one time, it really was revolutionary in the early days of micros. Likewise T/Maker a predecessor to modern day spreadsheets.

I may be an old git, but I've grown up with and used many of the significant developments in computing in the last 50 years and it has been an incredible (if not particularly well paid) journey.
