Don't purchase UNIFY if you will be adding time or date+time.  It
doesn't handle it gracefully and you will have to write an external
procedure to do the dirty work for you (use ctime).  It also doesn't
deal with seconds or fractions of seconds directly.

I use UNIFY a lot and it is nice except for that feature.  It is also
easy to setup input and reports/output.  Also, the B-Tree editor is a
great asset.
