I do not know if this answer will solve your problem about sharing
data using a database system but...
At this installation we have a Unix system (att sys v rel 2 compatible)
which runs on IBM or Amdahl Mainframe hardware. Amdahl calls it UTS
and it may solve your problem. UTS supports 327x terminals and in fact
has a program which is similar to DMS on vm/cms that will allow a user
to create full screen templates for data acquisition. We have been
using this product for over a year now and it seems pretty good. It is
a REAL unix system (not like ibm's 370/ix product which pretends its
unix by utilizing xedit macros and such). You might try calling up
Amdahl to see if they have what you need. I don't have a number that
you can call up (sorry about that).
