- Hi. As the subject suggests, I'm looking for a straightforward database
- for novice unix users (on vt100-emulating terminals no less!).
-
- The database would be used for basic data manipulation, uncomplicated
- searches, and generating reports, and would contain stuff like students'
- marks and equipment lists. The user would have some database experience
- but little unix knowledge.
-
- Would something like FoxPro or Paradox fit all these requirements? Or
- am I living in a dream-world for even seeking such a database? (break it
- to me gently)
-
- All comments or suggestions are welcome. My e-mail address is:

- Thanks,
- Craig.
