I need information on which relational dbase to buy for a MAC II.  I
am not a dbase programmer, but I pick things up quickly and it looks
like I am going to have to become one.

Parameters

1.  Does not have to be a speed demon, the files are not all that
huge.
2.  Must have a programming language.
3.  Must be able to update related files.
4.  Must allow me to be very imaginative in the user interface I
will be presenting to my end user.
5.  It would be nice if it dealt well with graphics.
6.  Doesn't need even the possibility of being distributed.
7.  It would be nice if there were some decent books on it.

I will be buying one within the month (right now I am dithering
between foxbase, Dbase and 4d.  Please reply

8. Oh yah, it would be nice if it was not a bitch for me to work 
with.

Thanks
