$There are better ones then nw-sql, but they are (you guessed) more
$expensive. Take a look at gupta's SQLBase and (even better and...)
$Sybase SQL-Server NLM. For theses products you need a 486-33 or 486-
$50 with 16Mb ram.

   I'll agree with the 16 MB of RAM, but how hefty a CPU you need
depends entirely on what you're doing with it.  We have a 386/40
running Sybase, Gupta and NetWare SQL simultaneously and, in a
fairly light-load situation, it performs just fine with all three
loaded in 16 MB.  I'd certainly agree, though, that if you're going
to err when specifying a system to run these engines, you should
err on the side of buying too much power.
