Hi Philip,
ecpg is the postgres's preprocessor for using embedded SQL in C.
Basically No accounting software is stable unless it has a database, so I
was
suggesting Postgres.
C under linux is not much different from dos, except there is no conio.h
so
You have to use curses.h. Also it allows IPC and RPC and forking etc which
are very useful in multiuser-multitasking environment.
And yes Postgres does have C++ and Perl interface too if that is a
preferable solution. We can use CVS for project management.
However perl is not exactly very secure ules you convert it to byte code
something like java.
regards
Aditya
