We have been using SCO's Professional (Lotus clone) and have found it to be very good. We would like to add some of the other SCO utilities to our system, namely . Lyrix (wordprocessor) . ImageBuilder (graphics generator) . MasterPlan (project management) . Integra (SQL RDBMS) Other possiblities options are: . MS Word 5.1 instead of Lyrix. I would like to ask which is "better", but defining "better" is very difficult. Let us just say, we are not a publishing house. We write letters, proposal, light documentation, etc. . Informix SQL instead of Integra. We are already using Informix for our production systems. I expect we will continue to use informix in the office, but some felt it wise to investigate Integra. Maybe it is easier for non techies to work with?? We do not need sophisticated packages, just easy to use, functional packages that work well with 386/ix. If you have any experience with these packages, we would love to hear from you. Whether you use them, install them, support them, love them, hate them, delete them, etc, etc. Please post, maybe others want to know too. If I get much mail, I will post (an anonymous) summary. (ie, no incriminating names). -larry
