Does anyone know if there is a database available for SCO Xenix or SCO UNIX which integrates images and text? Something that could be used for an online catalog (picture of item on one side of screen, text description on the other)?

On page 97 of the January 1991 issue of Unix World Magazine is an article entitled "Tools for Flexible Interface Design," which discusses "Empress," a database and 4GL which supports Binary Large OBjectS (BLOBS). One of the standard applications for BLOBS is for pictorial databases. Empress is available for SCO Unix and Xenix. The Faircom Toolbox (discussed in the same article) could be modified to support BLOBs also, if you don't mind doing a lot of low-level C work. -- Rick Farris RF Engineering POB M Del Mar, CA 92014 voice (619) 259-6793 rfarris@rfengr.com ...!ucsd!serene!rfarris serenity bbs 259-7757
