TAZA is correct. It's been a while.

Shareware programs have had a better survival/dev rate than commercial Amiga
programs, lately. I don't know the Amiga db prgs well, but any good one is
bound to have a communication (ARexx) port.
Also, you have a much better chance of getting your requests for new features
or bug fixes fulfilled, especially now that all/most commercial db programs
(FD, SuperBase 4) are dead.
You said that you were looking for a small one, so you probably aren't looking
for lots of features. You should be able to find a reasonable one, with a
port, in Aminet .
