From: Richard Furuta <Furuta@washington.arpa> I need a database system. Recommendations from people are hereby solicited. The application is the following: The department gets a number of applications for faculty positions. In the past, they've tracked these with a manual system but now they want to computerize. They keep information on things like name, address, how the person has been rated by reviewers, whether they've been invited to talk, etc. The mass of data doesn't sound like it's going to be very large but the kinds of queries might be a little unpredictable. The people entering the information into the database are not programmers. The available configuration is a 128K Mac with two disk drives. Send me your experiences and I'll summarize. --Rick -------
