a steady pace in the third quarter, developing applications, such
as finance and accounting, fleet management, property management
and CRM, based on Pervasive products. Also, ACCPAC
International, a subsidiary of Computer Associates, announced in

is powered by Pervasive.SQL 2000. In addition, Pervasive
