We are a Cognos Powerhouse shop that is looking at our migration
options (which seems to me to be an annual event) and so I would
like to hear from anyone with information on Rapid Application
Development tools for Linux (RedHat 7.3 or 8.0) and PostgreSQL
who has experience with these tools and can provide an
assessment of their usefulness.

The application suite to be converted is a financial and traffic
management system written entirely in Powerhouse comprising
some 300+ Quick screens, about 100 Quiz Reports and a handful
(20+) of QTP batch processes using three image databases and
five KSAM files (early alternative to b-tree functionality then missing
from Image).

We are looking for a visual based system (WYSIWYG) for forms
and reports that will support straightforward conditional processing
and mathematical processing. Ideally the resulting front-end could
run on both Windows and Linux machines.  Since this matter is not
directly concerned with the HP-3000 an off-list response might be
best, unless others indicate a desire for the same information.

Regards,
Jim
