I'm going to be helping out with some database manipulation for a
group I belong to.  I am fairly familiar with a couple of software
pieces for the PC (DBASE III+  and  Notebook).  Can anyone tell me
how similar this Omnis program is to either of the other two?  Is 
there a better part of the net to ask this question?  Do the people
who market Omnis provide telephone technical support?  We have a 
bona fide copy with a manual of some kind, but I haven't seen the 
manual yet and am not sure how good it is;  it's possible there have
been upgrades which the group has not participated in.
Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.  I can be reached at
chesl@garnet.berkeley.edu.  Thanks.
