The return data type of "main" is long. This draws warnings under OpenBSD. Look at detecting the main function under OpenBSD and changing it. Is this relevant for other OS?

Add support to CMake (or create a plugin) so Ruleworks modules can be built easily with it.

As a simpler start, take the existing OpenVMS Rdb SQL interface and port it to SQLite. While this is not the most appropriate database for large scale Ruleworks software, it will provide a simpler testbed to building a common database interface as well as providing persistent storage for small and test programs.

SQL support should be extended to a "driver" model. Each database should be supported through a loadable driver. The following items will need addressing to make this work:

• Extend SQL-ATTACH to include a driver specification
• Support setting a default SQL driver with an environment variable/logical.
• Define a set of entry points for passing database-specific functionality to the driver.
• Define a loading mechanism and structure definition to hold entry point function pointers.

Reorganise the build to use CMake

Replace the following "unsafe" functions with their "safe" equivalents:

• strcat
• strcpy
• sprintf
• vsprintf
