[Coco] OS-9 Databases

[Mike Hughes]

I had a copy  of a program by Computerware called DATA MASTER for OS-9 Level II.  I don't know what I did with it, but I remember that my impression was that this database was an attempt to shoehorn a UNIX database into the comparitively restrictive environment of OS-9.  I remember it as a good introduction to the field of databases, but because of memory restrictions, it wasn't very practical for an actual "mid-sized" database.

Sculptor is a commercial grade industrial strength database. (for its time)
Works like a charm, and quite configurable.  No source though.
