I would like to able to get a copy of UNIX-based DBMS for the 3B1/7300 that is NOT the Smart Database Manager. I have seen references to DBASE III in this newsgroup. Is this version under UNIX or does it require the DOS-73 board? Are there any other good DBMS out there that run ON UNIX? Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide. -- Olaf Henjum (att!ihlpf!olaf)

DBASE III runs under UNIX, all right. I have it but have barely used it. I have heard that it has lots of bugs, is not supported, and has not been updated since the first release. I will probably get flamed if I'm wrong about that, so I've got on my asbestos BVDs. There is also Progress, which I have used quite a bit, and which I know is supported, and which I like a lot. It does a whole lot more than DBASE even tries to do, but it is not all that cheap. It is multi-user on the 3b1, and source compatible with versions for MS-DOS, most UNIX flavors, and VMS. There is a run-time version available. Contact Progress Software, Inc, at 617-275-4500. I have no connection with them other than as a user.

INFORMIX has also been ported to the 3b1. I think it runs $600-$700. You'll have to call INFORMIX for details. -- David Neill office -> 405-278-4007 -> oktext!mktco Mgr - Mktg.(SWBTCo) home -> 405-749-1141 -> oktext!frodo!david
