subject: Need DOS db exe program

Folks
I'm looking for a DOS based database program which will
   - create executables which can
        - run on 286's with monochrome moniters
        - be distributed royalty free
   - reasonably quick to program
   - desirable features include
        - built in drop down lists to select codes from
          other tables.
   - relational database
It'd be nice if it had a Windows counterpart for which porting
is very easy.  But, if required, I'll just use MS Access ADT to
create an Access version.
The application required has a bunch of verification and code tables
but doesn't have any bizarre quirks.  It's actually quite straight
forward.
I suspect that FoxPro may fit the above needs including the Windows side
of things.  While Clipper has the DOS capability I suspect it'd be a
fair amount of work setting it up.  Any thoughts?
So does Paradox for DOS or the latest DBase, or additional cost sytems,
create executables?
Thanks, Tony
