We are going to be using Xenix as the platform for a time and billing
system we are writing.

One feature that would be really nice is the ability to link into the
database with a general SQL type interface. i.e. we need a database
manager with _BOTH_ a C subroutine interface so that our applications
can extract information directly; and a SQL interface so that a user
can simply query the database to find (for example) all customers who
are in Washington state that owe between $10,000 and $100,000; and do
all the other neat things that a SQL permits.

The other feature that we are looking for is a good desktop publishing
system, because neat looking output is an absolute "must have" for
this system, and the people using it are _NOT_ going to want to learn
how to drive troff.

Please E-mail suggestions since we aren't yet getting this group from
our feed. Thanks in advance.
