What is "dataflex"

DataFlex is a development tool for Windows and web applications.

It started as a relatively early example of a fully fledged and commercially used fourth-generation programming language (4GL). In its early forms, DataFlex was available for Unix, VAX/VMS, TurboDOS, Novell NetWare, CP/M, MS-DOS and OS/2 operating systems.

DataFlex is produced by the Data Access Worldwide located in Miami. The company was founded in 1976.

DataFlex applications are used by around 3 million users worldwide.
