For a text-based program, Euphoria should work fine, and be less
effort than in C. It sounds as if the database is a proprietary
format. If so, you will have to write code to support it no matter
what language you choose. I vote for Euphoria.

Question: does this OS use a terminal with special keys or escape
commands
not available on a PC keyboard? That could be a problem.
