In response to questions regarding relational databases, there are several I
know of:

Acquisition   by Taurus-Impex   $299.95
Datamat A-200 by Transtime Technologies  $249.95
dBMan         by VersaSoft               $149.95
Superbase Professional  from Progressive Peripherals    $299.95

Superbase Professional is still not out yet to my knowledge, but is expected
shortly.  dBMan is very dBase like, Aquisition is much more "Intuitionalized".

Obviously there are spinoffs of these, products similiar to these, and
databases which are not relational to choose from as well.  The best approach
is to call the publisher and find out if the package has the specific
features you want, and then try the package out at a dealer to insure that
the program behaves in the manner you expect.

I hope this helps.
