No, not really.  I had a professor who wanted an assignment done in
dBase, maybe a name, but not REAL software IMHO.  I bought an A1000 and
Transformer to do it.  Haven't touched dBase since.  It wasn't that
there is NO database software, it's just that a particular piece was
SPECIFIED.  Same thing for AMAX, I presume.  There's one particular title
that someone needs to run.  Otherwise, the Amiga provides everything
needed.

By the way, since there are all of 8 or 9 commercial NeXT titles, perhaps
that's why NeXT provides a translator for Sun 3 software?
