That was a step up from the ADM-3A that put the D in 'dumb'.  I don't know 
what the timeline was but curses needed a terminal that could handle the 
ANSI sequences so I assume they were contemporaries.

We used an early version of db_VISTA that had a management interface 
called ida that was used curses. Life was grand until Windows removed 
ANSI.SYS.  DOSBox to the rescue.

I never worked with Raima's later products but db_VISTA was more 
sophisticated than dBase but never was as popular. afaik there is no 
connection to VistaDB for .NET.
