Hmmm, the only other user friendly database I know is 4th Dimension. But, that would also be a quick Carbon port. It already had some interface quirks and violations under the old Mac OS so I'm fairly sure it is worst under OS X. Other than that, I don't know. I personally use AppleWorks. It has the same hurriedly ported to OS X feeling but it's easy to modify and use, and it was free with my PowerBook! -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
