[misc.misc] Looking for Philatelic programs

bert@gufalet.rug.nl (Bert Bos) (04/09/90)

My father considers buying a computer and since his main hobby is
collecting stamps he wondered whether programs existed to help him
with that. He needs something like this:

- a database-like program,
- relates numbers from different catalogues (Yvert, Michel, etc.),
- no need for latest prices, but
- room to add things like date and price of purchase and comments.

Since I've never seen programs like this myself, I thought I would ask
the net. There must be miilions of stamp collectors all over the
world. I'm sure someone somewhere has exactly what he needs. Any
pointers are welcome. Please e-mail!
