[comp.unix.aix] AIX/PS2 Applications

griefer@ibmarc.uucp (Allan D. Griefer) (09/21/89)

Are there any spreadsheet and database programs available for AIX/PS2 yet?
I'm especially interested in a spreadsheet similar to Lotus 1-2-3 and a
database similar to DBASE III.

Opinions are strictly my own,

I am fairly sure that most of the Unix database companies either have a
port to AIX/PS2 or are in the process of doing a port. For instance, I
believe Oracle has a finished port, not sure if Ingres is available but
I think they are doing a port, and also Informix. My best advice would
be to contact those companies and ask them. As far as spreadsheets go, I
do not know if anything is available yet and I am not real familiar with
Unix spreadsheet packages anyway.

For what it's worth, I have the public domain "sc" program running on
AIX/370.  It took some minor hacks to get it going (like changing some signal
handling) and it still is not perfect (I don't have time to tune all the
display stuff).  I am sure "sc" ("screen calc") is available on the archive
sites (the fellow who wrote it had posted it to the NET some 2 years ago).
