I am about to undertake a medium sized application under SCO XENIX and need
suggestions on either toolboxes or DBMS's of reasonable price for both keyed
file data management and device independent full screen management. I am
sufficiently ignorant of the currently available systems that I have no 
biases for or against any of the possible methods, i.e. termcap vs terminfo,
DBMS vs toolboxes, etc. E-mail to me if you prefer, I will summarize if there
is sufficient interest in this question. For background, I have >25 years of
various computing experience from micros to supers and so am not afraid of
another package/system/language. Speed of programming is my paramount concern,
with cost a close second (I really don't want to pay royalties/copy fees).
