I got the demo disks from CMA about a year and a half ago to look at.  The
disks cost $100 for the demo version.  (I was thinking about reselling them
at the time, so the cost didn't matter, although $100 is ridiculous.)  I
actually got to the point where I had a doctor sitting with me going thru
the demonstration.  The program bombed consistently.  It didn't even seem
compatible with a Mac+.  In addition, I think it's a straight port from an
MS-DOS version, and very un-Macish.

If they have upgraded their disks, then fine.  However, I certainly would
not recommend them at this point.  There are several packages based on
Mac databases that can probably do the job.  I know that someone has
developed one for Double Helix.  You might call Odesta to find out the
developer's name.  I'm sure it's been done for 4D as well.
