It is also portable, being able to run on Windows and on linux. To give you an idea of the power of xbasic, it compiles itself in less than 10 seconds on a Celeron 533, and it won't work without X or an emulator for it in windows. Xbasic grids are much like Visual basic forms, but the code would have to be transferred. Since it is using MSSQL it would be advisable to convert a copy of the database to postgresql or Mysql and there are programs available to do both.
