I would certainly recommend looking at Sound Ideas,
www.soundideas.com, Reface/Review product for Windows based filePro
especially if you will have a Linux server as it runs from Linux.

Dave is about to release a new version which will take an exisitng
FilePro screen and convert it automatically into a Reface screen.  It
then uses all existing filePro code.

There are some tricks to ensure everything works as expected with
users clicking away from field to field but in essence it doesn't take
much at all to make a Sco Unix/Linux based filePro app a Windows
Client.  The Review client replaces the need for Putty, NetTerm,
ANZIO, etc.
