I am looking for a package for keeping track of an home inventory. Actually it is more to keep track of what is where in an hotel like establishment. It should be simple and easy to operate/maintain. We need to be able to keep track of furniture, etc., in the comples. Where are various items, be able to easily move items between locations, add and delete items and a versatile printing routine would be nice. The few packages I have seen so far are for insurance purposes. I do not need the prices, or vendors of items, as much as to keep track of what is where, and the ability to move items around. Any suggestions of packages, and/or methods of implementing this would be much appreciated. Thanks . . . -scott -- Scott Cousens, N3FXP | Internet: cousens@remus.rutgers.edu I hate .signatures | Bitnet : cousens@cancer.BITNET

One neat way of keeping track of a small hotel layout would be to use Hypercard or another similar program. IBM sells a product called LinkWay that is similar to Hypercard, for the PC. You could easily make an application like you describe by having a separate page for each room. Then you could have objects on each page representing the objects in the rooms. Moving an object between rooms, or eliminating it would be simple, and you would have the added benefit of a visual representation of the contents of each room. Any good hypermedia product for the Mac or PC should work well for this. It wouldn't be good for a large scale operation, but would work very well on a smaller scale. It also would work much better for large objects, like beds and televisions, than for comestibles like soap. Good luck! Kris Bruland. -- Kriston M.
