You REALLY ought to be looking at porting to something newer. dBMAN
hasn't been sighted in _years_, and it's likely that a Linux port
would be be based on libraries that have been out of use since the mid
'90s. It mightn't run on modern hardware...

Flagship is probably more supportable, as something that might be
largely compatible with xBase code. <http://fship.com/>

Building something with an open source SQL database like PostgreSQL or
Firebird would probably be better still.
