That's a good point. When it comes to data base design, the *design* of
the database is the hardest part of the job. Whatever application you use,
you will still be faced with the problem of how to structure and organize
the data! The most high-zoot database program in the world will not be of
any use if you don't know what you want to do. 

AmigaVision looks like a definite contender for your need. But is it "PD"?

My (boss's) new 2000 came with AV. But not ARexx. With all the ARexx apps
around, I feel left out. And would if the situation was reversed (ARexx but
not AV).

Commodore, do you mind if we......?
