About a month ago I put a query to the net asking about db_VISTA III and
other network model database managers.  I received around 8 glowing replies
highly recommending db_VISTA.  Since then my colleagues and myself evaluated
db_VISTA, MDBS IV, Ingres, and Informix under DOS.  We have decided to use
db_VISTA to develop a major database application.  We will also be porting
the application to SunOS UNIX.

So far db_VISTA seems like an excellent database manager with a reasonable
SQL interface.  It is highly flexible to work with because it is a C
library, much better than an imbedded language.  Hopefully I'll have a lot
more positive comments in a few months.

Eric
