    If you have no need for complex relational set-ups then FileMaker
Pro 2.0 is the most cost-effective solution to a networked database that
can be accessed by both Macs and PCs running Windows. Otherwise your
only alternatives at the moment are Omnis 7 and Oracle, both of which
are quite expensive. If your feeling daring, you can always wait until
Microsoft releases the new version of FoxPro for both Mac and Windows.
