Since I have received only 4 responses to the following posting re-
PC-based dbms survey, I am reposting it.  I still plan to  post the
summary on 26 FEB.  If you wish to be anonimous, please indicate as
such, & I will hide your identity.  I have also added a few more items 
on the querry list; they are marked "*".

So here we go again:

I am soliciting your experiences & opinions on various database
management systems on IBM PC (PC/XT/AT) or MAC.

	.Usability
	.Ease of use
	.Batch or Interactive?
	.Use of graphics: color/black? Resolution?
	.Quality & Quality control
	.Support
	.Maturity of the product
	.Cost
	.Type of Application
	.Hardwares it supports, i.e., does it run both on PC &
	 Mac or any other machines?  I am more interested in the
	 user interface issues here than the actual implementation.
	.Address of the vendor
	.Performance (speed)
	.Hardware Requirements: memory, disk, etc.
	*Max. databases it can handle.
	*Procedural language interface.
	*Querry language interface.
	*Interface to the existing databases, especially to the main
	 frames & minis.  Is it truly interfaced or is it done via
	 translation?

I will collect all data for 3 weeks, and post the summary on 2/26.
Vendors' responses are welcome, but please restrain from commercials.
