645.0. "PC to access VAX Rdb" by HGOVC::SHIRLEYCHAN (shirley chan) Tue May 15 1990 13:08

    What is the current status of DBase IV on PC accessibility to VAX Rdb?
    Any idea about when the product is ready and what are the functions?
    
    Is there any other products on PC that provide a friendly user
    interface to access data on VAX Rdb. Customer need some easy and simple
    ways to develop applications on PC (involute screens and pop-up menu,
    etc) to access Rdb. They don't want to write programs with
    SQL/Services.
    
    Thanks for any ideas.
    
    
    Shirley
