A non-profit organisation is interested in obtaining software that will manage
a database containing information relating to the planting and growing of trees.

The organisaion runs tree planting projects for which trees are provided by
a number of growers. Growers maintain a number of different species of trees
for a variety of projects in a number of holding areas. The trees are grown
from seed and must be ready for planting on the project date.

This information needs to be maintained so that forward planning can be
carried out on a 12 month, 24 month, etc. basis and monthly stock takes can
be performed. It should also be possible to work back from planting times to
calculate the date that seed should be planted for a particular species of
tree. The tracking of seed source is also important, so that information on
seed suppliers needs to be maintained.

The software should preferably run on a PC under DOS.

If anyone knows of a package that might me suitable for this purpose, please
let me know.

Many thanks,

Greg
