[net.micro.cpm] Wanted: CP/M-86 Data Base Program

ronb@tekred.UUCP (Ron Bremer) (01/09/86)

I am looking for a "good" database program to run on my Televideo 1603
under CP/M-86.  Does anyone know of a good program at a reasonable price?
Will any CP/M-86 program run on my machine or does it have to be adapted
for the Televideo 1603?

More questions:

Is there a good book about the internals of CP/M-86?  System calls and
such.

Is there a source of CP/M-86 program titles and a brief discussion of
their function, cost, publisher, etc?

What are other people doing that have CP/M-86 machines?  Write their own
software?  Don't use their system?  Or am I all alone?

Thanks for any help.

The Compupro Dealer in Houston, Informa Inc., has extensive experience in
CP/M86.  They use dBase II for database needs in house but also sell
Q-PRO-4 for CP/M86.  They have a slick version of the Palentier Word Processor
for CP/M86.  I don't have their number here but information has it.

As to your compatability worry, dBase II only needs to know about your 
screen codes.
