Phil,

One resource that I have enjoyed over the years is Gordon Graham.  He
has published several books on this and related topics.  I resently
found his web page.   I don't recall the actual address but you can
probable find it via the search engines.  E- mail me if your have
questions.  His web page references about 10 s/w packages which are
strong in Distribtuion needs.  They run on mainframes, mini's and PC
lans.
