I am involved a several projects that require the assimilation of
large amounts of data.  I have had a serial vt220 connected to my
Amiga for a while know, but have been using it mainly for  source
editing,  file  maintenance  and compiling.  The AUX: handler and
Conman's CNX: handler works very well for this purpose.   What  I
would  like  to  do is set up a multi-user environment using this
setup. The problem I am faced with is locating applications which
used stdin and stdout routines for input and output.

Stevie, the Amiga VI  clone  works  nicely  for  editing  program
source,  but is a little more difficult when used to create para-
graph oriented text blocks.

Does anyone have any ports (or originals) of Spread Sheets,  Data
Bases,  Word Processors, or any other productivity utilities that
work in a CLI environment that can be used via  a  terminal  con-
nected to an Amiga?
