  I don't know how good it is but I have heard of the RIM database which
  I believe is a port of a DECUS database.

  Perhaps we should ask for reviews of it as I have to admit that for an
  Amiga numerical analysis nut it should have a lot of power (FFTs etc).

  I have had mail discussion with the author(I think) Glenn Everhart and
  I was impressed that he tried to help me to learn how to set it up to
  run on my vanilla A1000 (512K usable RAM only).

  I haven't tried to do this since because of other involvements ...

  Alas I do not have AmigaDOS 2.0 (& wonder if I ever will on my A1000).
