We are building an application that calls for storing scan images of hand-
written documents on line. Because of corporate constraints, we have been
told to do this on a VAX with an RDB database. Unfortunately, no one at DEC
seems to know much about this, even though they do sell scanners. Does
anyone know:

		1: Can scan images be stored a records in an RDB database?

		2: How much storage does an 8.5"x11" page require, at the minimum
		resolution required to allow a human to read the page when it is 
		reprinted?

		3: What is the lowest end DEC terminal that will display a scan
		image?

		4: I understand that DEC does have some sort of document management
		system. Is this worth looking at?

All replies appreciated. E-Mail responses will be read faster. Thanks.
