Thanks, Frank. I was under the impression that Oracle didn't have
Mac server software, but I defer.

Sybase (they're based in Emeryville, just down the road from here)
has a new Hypercard front-end for their SQL stuff, and it's called
(are you ready?) Hybase. I know the guy who did it. I don't know
the pricing on it yet, though.
