Sure...Microware (800)475-9000 sells the SmartWare package (licensed from Informix) which includes relational database, spreadsheet, and word processor. Also, Ultrascience (708)808-9060 distributes Sculptor, a very powerful relational database. Also, dbVista has been ported to OS-9; contact Raima for further information. Others databases exist, but these are the major three I'm aware of. -- ############################################################################## # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond OS/2!! # ######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!######

In addition to the packages mentioned by Bill Sheppard there is also one from CSG (Clearbrook Software Group, I believe) called IMS. It is available for both OSK and OS9 versions (including a COCO version). It can be obtained from Frank Hogg in the U.S. and directly from CSG in Canada. I have used both Sculptor and IMS on the COCO and prefer IMS in most but not all ways over Sculptor. Mark Acfield - ac@vm.utcs.utoronto.ca

Db9 is not yet available, but if you can wait a few months it may be a cheaper alternative. (From StG -- autor of the StG bbs system for os9/6809. I believe that db9 will be part of StG net 4.0.) -- blarson@usc.edu C news and rn for os9/68k! -- Bob Larson (blars) blarson@usc.edu usc!blarson Hiding differences does not make them go away. Accepting differences makes them unimportant.

Yes, there are. The only two that I know about are Sculptor, which runs
on over 40 different computer systems. Frank Hogg Labs distributes a version
for OS-9 Level 2, and I think they carry an OSK version as well. You can
contact them at (315)469-7364
