We are looking into getting a DBMS package to run on our Sun workstations.
One important requirement is that this package should also run on PCs;  it
would be nice if we could easily interchange data between the Suns and the
PCs.  I know that DBase IV is available for the Suns.  I have three
specific questions:

- How well does DBase IV work on Sun workstations?  (We have a network of
  Sun 3s - mostly 3/50s and 3/60s)
- Is Paradox available for the Sun?  If yes,  any opinions?
- Any other packages we should consider?

I would greatly appreciate any and all comments.

You may post a follow up, or e-mail me directly at

Thanks for the help.
