I'll post this in both "comp.misc" and the "comp.sys.ibm.pc" section,
for lack of a better place. Some Russian friends of mine in Moscow
are asking these questions, and they are trying the get "on-line"
system for organization of data for keeping track of Armenian Children
relocated by the recent disaster. They can only get IBM-PC's because
other machines are hard to obtain...

Please be specific and list the names and addresses of Manufacturers
selling this software, so they can be contacted. I know there are
several systems out there that do this, but I'm not a PC user, so
am not in touch with the latest info....
We certainly appreciate the help.... Email your info to:
