	The is a relational database management system that I am currently
running on a Multiuser Tandy Model 6000 ( running 3.1 XENIX ).  The package is
called INFORMIX, and is written by Relational Database Systems ( RDS ) and sold
through a company call Santa Cruz Operations ( SCO ).  The documentation
explains that it can be run in an MS-DOS environment.  I assume
that it will run in a network environment with the MS-DOS version.

	I think that INFORMIX ( it is a truely relational database ) is a
very good product.  Creating screens are as easy as setting up a format in 
'vi'.The report generator and schema setup is easy to.  In addition, the lastest
versions of INFORMIX come with SQL Query Language.
