I did service work for Kodak, and used Sculptor to keep track of my 
parts inventory.  I had a vt100 set up in my garage with a serial cable 
through the attic to my coco.  Part of the data base compiling was 
setting up the terminal to be used. So when I logged on from the vt100 
all the menu's worked properly on the screen etc. Worked pretty slick.  
I only had around 500 parts, but I kept track of what was in my trunk, 
and what was orderd,a nd in the mail. etc.  I could also pull many types 
of reports to print etc.  Had a customer database with sculptor also.  
It worked for mailing labels etc. Its all still working to.  Except now 
I can log on to it from any where via telnet!
