[TUHS] JPLDIS - still extant?

[TUHS] JPLDIS - still extant?

[Wesley Parish]

I was looking around for stuff to play with on FreeDOS and I thought, do they 
have any DBMS yet?

So I googled for (dbase public domain) and got something about the aforesaid 
JPLDIS, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Display and Information System.

Anyone got any ideas of its continued existence?  (It's written in Fortran, I 
judge, and I think there are a few PD Fortrans out there that could be used 
to reanimate it. ;)

Thanks

Sure, Open WatCom, offers (if I remember well) C, C++ and fortran compilers
for DOS (among others) derived from traditional WatCom compilers (see
www.openwatcom.com).

As for databases... you may be interested in looking over other links. Your
initial query was too narrow (public domain << open source). See e.g.

	http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Archive/Software/FreeDB/FreeDB.list.html
	http://www.swen.uwaterloo.ca/~mrbannon/cs798/

or search for 'open source dbms' or 'open source database'.
