[Coco] Hi coconuts, What's the best approach for doing a database

[Robert Gault]

MESS should read Keil disk images. Get the current version of MESS for 
best results on any issue. MESS can be used to interconvert one .dsk 
format to another. There were several messages on this newsgroup 
recently on exactly this subject.

The OS-9 MultiView contained a data base program. You can search Google 
for PC database programs. An example is Microsoft Access and there are 
many others.
