   I might - alas I'm retired now and generally
   don't need databases ... so it might be a
   little while. I recall the form-builder kinda
   being disappeared somewhere early on and that's
   when I decided to just stick with Access and
   the "modern" SQL/Java crap.

   LOOKING for a semi-decent MULTI-VALUE DB that
   doesn't involve license restrictions though.
   I've loved MV since PICK-OS. Have tried to
   write my own, but Mr. Pick apparently had a
   lot more energy/focus than I have. Many of
   those 50s/60s software engineers really earned
   the title - GREAT stuff.
