There is a freeware package released by Genentech Inc. called DSQL which consists of a server for Unix/VMS and several clients for Unix,DOS and Mac. It may take some tweaking to get the server compiled and running for your system, but the Mac part seems to be pretty straightforward. I am not a Mac person, but our Mac people liked the hypercard stack very much with which they could interface to our Informix databases on our Unix hosts. There is also a programming API to integrate database access into your own programs. You can get dsql from cgl.ucsf.edu (128.218.14.2), I don't know the exact directory.
