I want to automate our archaic, manual timesheet system.

Every week we have to fill out these silly paper(!) forms reporting
how much time we spent on which projects. Then someone must type all
this info in to some other system.

This is crazy.

It does not much matter how we enter the data, it would be nice simply
to be able to type it in every day and have the results posted to the
proper authorities each week.

It may be based on
. a database (informix for example)
. a spreadsheet (sco professional (lotus look-a-like) for example)
. flat ascii files created by shell scripts and processed by awk or
  perl or ??
. ??

Any suggestions? Pointers? Help?
