Hi!

I am looking for a good easy to use data base program for keeping track
of all kinds-o-stuff.  For example, I want to make a recipe data base
and a seperate household budget data base, and an address book, and so
forth.  I would like to be able to search through the data on a variety
of different keywords and have complete control over the format in
which the data is stored (for example, the way one naturally stores
recipes is very different from how one stores the addresses of one's
close friends ... providing one is not interested in canibalism).
It would be absolutely ideal if I could tack word processed files into
the data base records using the AREXX port on my favourite word
processor, but this is perhaps ambitious.  So my question is:  does such
a program exist, and how and where can I get one if it does?
