For various reasons, I am about to receive an IBM System 36 for use
in our personnel department.  The system had been used in an RPG 
programming environment and so will not come with any application 
programs.

Our personnel office has very typical office automation needs. They
would like a generic database package, a word processor, a spreadsheet,
and electronic mail.  I need to find vendors of these products for
the S/36. IBM's own offerings, especially in their database package,
are not very good. Most critical is finding a good generic 4th
generation database package along the lines of Informix, Oracle,
or dBase for the S/36.

Please send me any information you might have on such typical O/A
products for the S/36 or information on vendors of such products.
Yeah, I know, I'd rather them have a Unix box too, but the S/36
is free.
