>> 4) What shall I use to: >> A) wordprocessor >Text 87 >> B) spreadsheet (w/ .xls translation or something similar) >Q Spread >> C) database (not complex, just for a collection control) >DATAdesign or SuQcess >You could also use the Archive / Quill / Abacus / Easel package, >Xchange. The suggestion of Xchange as a main option has the advantage of being free to the user and the disadvantage of being very outdated software. Fine to download and use but, if we want to attract and keep new users to the system they should realise that the better options are those suggested above even if they do have to pay for them. If you only suggest Xchange the new user may suspect that we are all stuck in the quagmire of 80's computing and close the door quietly behind him. This is not so I can make some money (but I would not complain) but so we present the most modern face to the outside world.
