[comp.unix.questions] Cheap DBMS and office systems

emc@unicus.UUCP (Eric M. Carroll) (06/04/87)

About a month ago I posted a request for data base systems that I could 
get my hands on for office management. Our particular need was for cheap
source. The best suggestion was from Doug Gwyn <gwyn@BRL.ARPA>
who said:

> You can get complete sources for a relational DBMS called "Unity-TC"
> from the AT&T UNIX System ToolChest.  They're affordable by comparison
> to commercial DBMSes.  Generally the ToolChest contains a lot of useful
> aids in source form for low cost.

I should have thought of that - thanks to Doug for reminding me of a 
valuable low cost source supplier. The other suggestion for those 
looking for full office tracking came from Ed Mrozek 
<mcnc.org!ecsvax!emrozek> who said:

> You might have a look at the products from MCBA.  They seem to have
> all of the standard tools: A/R, A/P, GL, .....

As for a compendium of Unix product lists, Scot E. Wilcoxon 
<meccts.MECC.MN.ORG!sewilco> suggested:

> Look in "Data Sources" (ask a librarian) or the /usr/group UNIX
> products directory (see the "access to unix groups" article which is
> posted monthly...I think in comp.unix.questions or comp.usenix).

Thanks to all who responded.
