Well, you can use Excel 3.0, 4th Dimension (with an addon), Clear Access,
and a few other packages (it's been strongly rumored that several Claris
products will soon support it, as well).  Of course, you need to connect
with some machine (like a VAX) which has a DAL server running on it.
Apple recently announced that DAL server software would be available for
a whole slew of machines, but at this point, you'll have difficulty
finding one, unless you install it yourself.
