It's very easy to use. No language has to be learned as it is all menu-driven. It uses its own file format but is able to import and export to many different formats. Recently Button released PC-File-dB. It uses a file format which is the same as dBASEIII. Both of these packages are available from Simtel20: Filename Type Bytes CRC Directory PD1: PCFDB1A.ARC BINARY 327900 4981H \ PCFDB2A.ARC BINARY 352213 34BCH > PC-File-dB PCFDB3.ARC BINARY 155825 9985H / PCFILED.ARC BINARY 214796 BA9FH \ PCFILEP.ARC BINARY 254348 576CH > PC-File+ v2.0 PCFILEU.ARC BINARY 234412 4A26H / --Keith Petersen Maintainer of the CP/M & MSDOS archives at wsmr-simtel20.army.mil [26.0.0.74] DDN: w8sdz@wsmr-simtel20.army.mil Uucp: {ames,decwrl,harvard,rutgers,ucbvax,uunet}!wsmr-simtel20.army.mil!w8sdz
