I have a user who wants to spend very little on a database.  Mostly it would
be used for a card file, and a tickler (date reminder).  It would need to
perform some simple queries.  I thought about getting an integrated
environment, because he could use word processing functions also.  However,
the packages I've examined in the past (such as Microsoft Works, which is the
right price) are not friendly enough, too difficult to automate, and would
require too much thinking of the user.  Any suggestions?
