Is this actually running on a main-frame then? - can you export the
database in a suitable form to load into other relational databases
such as Access or ORACLE (would you want to :-)

Most modern desktop system have more than enough processing power to
manipulate thousands of records

Are the maps automatically generated from the data or hand painted?

Just curious.
