Try Sculptor. This package is available for OSK as well as MS-DOS and
a few other operating systems, so portability of 'code' and data is
very easy. Not sure of the publisher... maybe somebody else out there
knows who makes this...dzuj@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (10/28/90)

Lynch (1 201 805 2447) Microware offers SmartWare, which includes a word processor, spreadsheet, and relational database (which can import/export dBase files). Also, the package dbVista has been ported. Call me at (408)980-0201 for more information. Note: These are both for OS-9/680x0, and are 'industrially-priced' - that is, your average home user may find the price a bit higher than most off- the-shelf software. -- ################################################################################ # Bill Sheppard -- bills@microware.com -- {uunet,sun}!mcrware!mwca!bill # # Microware Systems Corporation --- OS-9: Seven generations beyond __/_!! # #######Opinions expressed are my own, though you'd be wise to adopt them!#######

Not sure of the publisher... maybe somebody else out there Best-known distributor of Sculptor is Frank Hogg Labs in Syracuse, NY. I think Frank is just a distributor. His price varies all over the map -- usually high, but he often has sales or Coco-Fest specials on things. Try asking for the "Atlanta Fest" price. -- "Round and round the while() loop goes; Whether it stops," Turing says, "no one knows."

This note is just to let you know where I am at the moment. First of all, our platform is a 68030 with LOTS of memory which may or may not narrow down the field a bit. There are currently TWO database platforms around. I don't have particulars on either yet. (They are forthcoming, I will post more information if desired when they arrive.) The first is called IMS and is by Clearbrook Software Group located somewhere in Washington State (604 853 9118). Frank Hogg Labs is the distributor for this package. Someone at Frank's place tells me that this is a forth-generation package that is better and cheaper than Sculptor. Anyone know anything about this? The second is Sculptor which seemingly will run on anything (they have a wide variety of platforms under their belts) and can be had through a company called DELMAR in Middletown Delaware (302 378 2555). Delmar has a demo package available for most PC compatible machines. I am due to receive packages from both outfits and will forward details when I get'em. -Lionel -- _______________________________________________________________ | Lionel G.

Not sure of the publisher... maybe somebody else out there >knows who makes this... Sculptor is not a relational database, but rather a 4GL. I have used Sculptor, on and off, for the past four to five years. It is good for developing end user type applications. Portability is excellent. I have taken code from various Unixes to MS-DOS to Uniflex without having to recompile, and to VMS with a recompile (no longer needed, I'm told). It is distributed in the UK and Australia by MicroProcessor Developments (MPD). I think it was distributed in the US by Frank Hogg, but I'm not sure. I'm only a satisfied customer ... -- Jan Mikkelsen janm@dramba.neis.oz.AU or janm%dramba.neis.oz@metro.ucc.su.oz.au
