This is the first time posting to this group and I have actually
not had a chance to read too much so forgive me if this has been
recently covered but I need some advice.

I am working on a project to combine serveral large widely used
databases into a centralized database that will be accessable to
a large number of people.  Idealy I would like to have my
database set up on a Unix system.  We use Ultrix, Sun OS, and 
BSD Unix, not VMS.  I want to keep the database on the unix system 
and have a Macintosh front end with possibly a hypercard interface
or something similar to hypercard.  I need some product 
recommendations and some advice from anyone experienced with this
type of thing.


Thanks a lot,
Ransom
