After seeing these prices I decided I should post a quick note about a product
that we have called Zebu.  It is billed as a records management package.  It
creates a flat file with two record types where the records are in a master
slave relationship.  It also has an index file for access by one key.

But, all this is irrelevant to the initial question.  It has a screen
description language and puts up pretty screens for data entry and record
access.  If this is what you are looking for, it could solve your problem.
It uses curses and is distributed as source.  The price: $150

Anyway, if this is of interest, contact:
