Sybase tools are | not as complete or as easy to use as Ingres making application | development more difficult (the screen or forms system is not very | usable on non bitmapped terminals as it is very mouse orientated). +--------------- According to the latest Unix/World, Accell/SQL is available as a front-end for Sybase on non-bitmapped terminals. THAT should be one k*ck-*ss combination! Oh -- on a slightly different tack, I was amused to note that there are *three* front-ends available for Oracle aside from Oracle's own: Accell/SQL, For-Ten (who?) and Progress (well, it's "in development"). Quite a damning statement about SQL*Forms, if you ask me.... (There were four available for Sybase, but that's because Sybase's native forms package is bitmapped; all of these were character-oriented.) ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
