What are some good recipe database programs?  What price?

I'll want to sort by a number of food categories, and have the 
program automatically change the quantities of ingredients if 
I double (triple, halve, etc.) the recipe.  Hopefully it will 
also be fairly menu-driven (no pun intended).

Are there any low-cost general databases that will do 
calculations (like for adjusting ingredients)?  It might be
fun to set one up myself.  I have limited additional use for
a database (already have a mail list program for names and
addresses), so I'm not interested in a big-time, expensive
database program like DBase III.

I'm looking for something in the $50 price range.

Thanks for any advice.
