I could give it a try, it's an old Progress (4GL) database, but I'd 
rather run it in a VM for the reasons explained earlier - easy to back 
up, easy to move and make essentially independent of hardware issues.
They'll probably be running this thing for another 15 years and I want 
to protect them as best I can (yes, I've told them to replace the system 
...)
