It wouldn't be kosher for me to recommend dBASE when you say you want FoxBase.
But I can throw you a curve:  Have you considered a spreadsheet package
like 1-2-3 or (Ashton-Tate's) Framework?  They have simple flat-file data
base capability with easy built-in graphics.  Framework even has a word-
processor with outlining, which would let you concentrate on the wolves and
not juggle a lot of different products.  End of commercial :-).
