Abstract
A prototype system has been developed to connect an IBM PC or compatible to an IBM 3081 mainframe for making direct database accesses. The system includes programs which run on both the PC and the mainframe to allow communications and to forward database access queries and the results of the queries. The system was developed based on the ideas which have been used in different microcomputer packages. However, no existing system includes the windowing functionality, or the interactive capabilities have been developed here. The system was developed in Turbo Pascal for the PC, and IBM Pascal on the main frame. The design criteria and the implementation details are presented in this report.
