Several years ago, I thought I needed a database and bought Helix. Well,
it turns out I don't, so maybe someone else can use it:
DOUBLE HELIX II by Odesta: The latest version of this
graphically-oriented relational database. A high-end database which uses
icons and flowchart-like operators instead of a programming language.
Very powerful form-generation capabilities. Excellent documentation.
Comes with all manuals and disks; I will transfer ownership to the buyer
(Odesta sends updates for this product frequently). Helix also runs on
VMS systems, and has network versions (I don't know much about these
versions, but I know that there are upgrade paths).
PRICE: $120 (includes shipping).
-----
dBASE MAC by Ashton-Tate: A high-level relational database with a
programming language. Manuals and disks are still shrink-wrapped.
PRICE: $0!
Let me explain -- I won this in a raffle when Ashton-Tate visited Seattle.
It's a fully-covered product (you register it with A-T and everything),
but I'm not allowed to resell it. So... wanna trade? I could use an
external 800K disk drive (hint, hint); but use your imagination... I'll
acknowledge any offers, and after a month, I'll pick the best offer,
*whatever* it is.
