[comp.databases] refer bug,simple DB?,Sun version dBaseIII?

tarnoff@cme.nbs.gov (Nicholas Tarnoff) (05/23/89)

I need some info. and advice about a simple database program for Suns!

I tried to use Refer but found bugs. For example, the minimum number
of characters that indexbib considers a word (default:3) could not be
changed (using the mtab -l option). Indexbib behaved unreliably if this
option was set to a number other than three. The bug was reported to
Sun but I am still left without a DB program.

Do you know of simple public domain database program(s)  for storing literature
references?

I am also curious if there exists a Sun version of dBaseIII.

Please e-mail me your reply.

Thanks for the help.
