I am looking for a program ( to evaluate, buy ?) that will handle the needs
of a small library (8000 to 10.000 books).  This program needs to run on a
386sx machine (70mb disk drive).

This program needs to be able to:
	
	a. Generate catalog cards, shelf cards, book cards 
           author cards, subject cards (what ever card are used in a
           regular library) and also spin labels for the books.

	b. Keeps track of the Database, so if anyone needs a book, this
           person should be able to enter either the author name, the
           subject or even a search string.....

	c. Updating the database should update all infos and generate
           the apropriate cards (that should be easy enough !)

Basically, I am looking for something a little bit more sophisticated that
just a regular database.  Some of the programs, I have seen on the market
are outageously expensive and would not fit the needs of a small library 
anyway.

Please E-mail back to Eugene login is efmcg@think.com or call me voice
at (508) 883-1757.

Thank you very much.
