In reply to Keith Hedger's question about DBMAN: I have used DBMAN to implement a couple of fairly sophisticated packages which I use all the time. It is really a programming language for writing database applications (similar I understand to dBASE III), so even fairly simple things take some programming to set up. But the primitives are there and they work well. Once you have figured out how to put the pieces together, you can do very sophisticated data entry, data validation, automatic computation of defaults, report generation, and so forth. You can also easily create, combine and manipulate multiple databases, allowing one to implement transaction logs, update files, and other standard data processing paradigms. On the whole I am very pleased with it and find it to be one of the best programs that I have used on the ST. --Mike Fischer -------
