  PowerBuilder
       
           A {graphical user interface} development tool
          from {Powersoft} for developing {client-server} {database}
          {applications}.  It runs under {MS-DOS}(?) and {Microsoft
          Windows}.  There are also versions for {Microsoft Windows},


          {Windows NT}, {Macintosh}, and {Unix}.
       
          Applications can be built by creating {windows}, controls
          (such as {listboxes} and {buttons}), and {menus} within the
          PowerBuilder development environment.  The language used to
          program PowerBuilder, {PowerScript}, is loosely based on
          {BASIC}.
       
          PowerBuilder supports programming on many database backends
          including {Sybase} and {Oracle}.  It also has added support
          for {ODBC} database drivers.  PowerBuilder also comes with a
          built-in database backend ({WATCOM} {SQL} 32-bit {relational
          database}).
