Without out (hopefully) incurring the wrath of those who may have 
received this posting - I'll try again.  I suspect there was a 
problem the first time (early Jan.).  I've received only 3 replies - 
(Jan Harrington, Rob Lake, and Brian Martin)
I have to believe there are more DB programmers than that! (maybe not?!)

Here goes --- 

I am looking for comments from people who have programmed database
applications using one of the Mac DBs (Omnis 3+, dBase Mac, 4D,
Double Helix).  Specifically what you found good, bad or indifferent
about the packages with regard to :

    - Ease of programming 
    - Report generation capabilities
    - Speed of resulting application
    - Ability to define application's look and feel
    - Support provided by manufacturer 

(doesn't have to be long either!!!)

I am in the process of designing a DB application for inventory control
(some 10,000 pieces of inventory) and have need to provide a DB application
that supports multiple users and mirrors (as close as possible) 
the current paper system.  

Please send your replies to my mail address and I'll summarize to the
net if there is interest.

Thanks much - (again)
