A few months ago I posted a similar enquiry to comp.databases, and the best summary of responses there might be "What the ____ is RDM?" Considering that most of the folks who read USENET news work on UNIX systems, although some shops may also have VMS, it shouldn't have been too surprising a response. As far as I am aware, RDM isn't available in a UNIX flavor; it is avialable for just about all of DEC's os's, and for MSDOS. RDM is a product of Interactive Technology Inc., Beaverton, Oregon. A committee in our org has just recommended that it be adopted as the corporate standard for microcomputers, primarily, I believe, because of it's upward compatibility to VMS, which is to become the corporate "backbone" system. I would appreciate hearing about any experiences with this product. -- Jim Hood {decvax!utcsri pyramid!utai uunet!attcan}!lsuc!forgen!jim

RDM is a database/application developement environment. One could relate it to MS-DOS type software such as dBase III. When we were on the search for a database manager for VMS it was one of the products we looked at. However, we selected FOCUS in favour of RDM and a few others.
