Multi-User Relational DBMS for Both Macintosh and PC

I need a set of database programs that run on both the Macintosh and PC and can
use a common set of relational database files on a server (multi-user type).

I know that some Macintosh products can read and run dBASE, but do they work on
a network?

Omnis 5 from Blyth Software and FoxBASE+ (used with FoxBASE+/LAN) from
Microsoft both allow data files to be shared in a combined PC and Macintosh
network environment.

FoxBASE+ includes tools that allow simple entry/retrieval forms to be drawn,
and these tools can generate the code to handle the simple forms. FoxBASE+
also can directly use dBASE code from Borland International's dBASE.

We are not aware of a multi-user relational database that works on both
platforms on a network and does not use a programming language.

To locate a vendor's address and phone numbers, use the vendor's name as a
search string.
