	A couple of weeks ago I asked for information about relational
database managers for the NeXT. I was looking for something roughly
comparable to dBASE on other platforms...

	Although I got several thoughtful responses, most seemed to
agree that there isn't a lot to choose from that might fall between,
say, DataPhile and Sybase or Oracle in terms of power/price. The whole
notion of a relational, end-user DBMS just seems not to have happened
as a NeXTstep product. (By "end-user", I'm saying that I don't want to
have to be a programmer just to use the damn thing.)

	So, I'm looking in another direction now - a more generic DBMS
that can I could run under a shell. Can anyone tell me whether
Berekely's University Ingres or any other comparable public domain
packages have been ported to the NeXT? (I guess part of that question
is whether they'll run under NeXTstep 3.0 -- although I'm still using
2.2 for now.)

	Thanks for any suggestions...

	Michael.
