You might look at "Bibliofile," COMPUTERS AND THE HUMANITIES 18 (1984):
71-85 for a description of my system of **IX tools for the type of task
you describe.  This system is now available in Sco Xenix, UNIX, Ultrix,
and MSDOS versions.

Note:  this is an explicitly **IX style system - strictly text and composed
of distinct tools (ked, the editor; kord, the sort utility; kawk, the forms
generator).  It is strictly text but is completely free form on individual
record and field size.  It is currently running on machines ranging from
XT clones to an 8800 series Vax with a Sun or two inbetween.
