I am looking for a multi-user DBMS that would run under AUX. Mac GUI is not important, as it is mainly for a dialup system, so tty or vt100 (or no pre-fab interface at all) would be best. I am primarily interested in a PD or shareware program with source so that we can develop our own user interface (possibly using MacWorkstation), but recommendations of low-to-medium cost commercial packages are also welcome. One of the primary uses of this system is to allow dial-up access to a database of a videotape library index. Since this database includes descriptions of the tapes, an important feature is the ability to have long fields. I have tried using awk, but the 1k field limit made it unworkable. There is often more than one long field per record. Please reply by mail and I will summarize to the net. -- | Jeff Mann - Inter/Access Computer Art Centre ...uunet!mnetor!intacc!mann | | "I may be synthetic, but I'm not stupid" {utzoo,utgpu}!chp!intacc!mann | | - android "Bishop", in "ALIENS" 1179A King St. West, Toronto, Ont.|
