I need an RDBMS - based accounting package, capable of fund or cash accounting right out of the box.

I suggest that you look at either SCO Lyrix or Tigera's Word Era, although
personally I would suggest the latter. Tigera is in CA, They used to be
Fortune Systems before thhe hardware and software group split. Also you
may want to look at WordPerfect. 
Both Word Era and WordPerfect have Unix and DOS packages.

I suggest you look at either Oracle or Informix 4-GL. I have used Informix
4-GL and I like it. I am unsure about Oracle.

Try 20/20 as a spreadsheet. It's available from SCO.

Microport 386 with Merge386 will allow this easily. Also you may want to look
at PC-I (PC-interface from Locus?).

As far as integrating Macs into this I don't think many systems out there are
available that will do it. Most are probably unproven on the market or kludgy.
