     I have been asked by someone who owns an Apple IIE to discover if
there is an application package availabel to suit a need that he has.
This person is not very familiar with computers and has inherited the
IIE.  After listening to what this person would like to do I have
concluded that what they want is a relational database system with the
ability to creata, destroy, manipulate, and query against relations
via a forms oriented interface.


     Is anyone aware of such a product or a similar file management
system that would allow for queries and sorts via any attribute?
I told this person that the chances were probably not very good for
finding something along these lines.  The IIE appears to be directed
at the educational market and the DBMS software is generally more
likely to be found on machines intended for the business world, eg.
the Mac.


     Any pointers would be appreciated.  I am not knowledgeable in 
this area.  *** Please respond via e-mail.  I do not read this
