There is a shareware product ($30) that was developed by Steve Silva and the
students in his fourth generation language class at the DeVry Institute of
Technology in Phoenix.  It is a very straight forward and simple SQL based
DBMS patterned after ORACLE - even some of the example tables are the same.
He can be reached at :

			SILVAWARE
			3902 North 87th Street
			Scottsdale AZ 85251

It is a little limited, but my version was put out early this year, and there
may be more updates or releases since then.  Send me e-mail if you need
further information or want a copy of the file.  It's ~87K arc'ed.  I tried to
e-mail directly to you, but don't have your host in our look-up table, so I
need another address to route any return messages to you.

			TTFN,
				Tom
