Re: database server access from dos
There are many database software for dos here:

Under dos, the most used database format was .DBF (used by DBaseIII and many others); the format is described here:
http://www.dbf2002.com/dbf-file-format.html
It was possible to access DBF files in QBASIC, using a program like this: http://www.bvbcode.com/code/f70szdln-242766
so accessing them in FreeBasic shouldn't be hard.

Another one is BTrieve, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrieve
Potentially interesting because afaik the successor support Pervasive, support many older Dos options.
