It will run on PC compatables and will be written using the Microsoft C 4.0. It is going to be very database intensive and I am considering purchasing a DBMS. In the past, I have worked with C-ISAM and Convergent Technologies ISAM. They were invaluable in putting together a good and sturdy database package. Through reading publications such as DDJ and Byte I have seen ads for many DBMS packages and I don't really know which one is best, does any one have any ideas? The packages I have seen advertised include: dbVista, C-Tree, Turbo-DB, and Btrieve. Thanks for any comments at all... -RICH Richard Newman {allegra,cmcl2,philabs}!phri!\ Datamerica Systems {harpo,bellcore,cmcl2}!cucard!dasys1!rnewman New York, NY. USA {philabs}!tg!/
