We currently have MUMPS language. The IBM's are dumb terminals on the DEC system, with no way to transfer files, use/share software easily (or successfully) Have well over 16 users/ports need to add more. More and more users need to use dBaseIII+ and the IBM version of WordPerfect is becoming popular. Plain terminal users (Citoh) feel "left out"... have looked at a package SAS promotes as being able to intergrate the two worlds, but would need an upgrade on the DEC. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO IS VERSED IN ALL THESE AREAS? UNDERSTANDS REAL-PEOPLE NEEDS & USES? I'm sure there are.... please reply to [wahec@ecsvax] USnail: T. M.
