As in the subject - is there a simple database for A500?

SBase4Pro were given away with CU Amiga Magazine Cd-rom 22.
So you could PM me your email and it should be sorted.
That should be legal right!

bBase2: is not bad, slows down with larger dbs.

db:  tried it, but, don't remember.

I think these first 2 are available on aminet.

QuickFile: from the same people who made Final Data, but much earlier.  From a coverdisk.

Superbase: the only relational db listed here.  It has old requesters and has a different "cassette player-like" interface.

Final Data:  very fast, no bugs (that I've found), handles large dbs with ease, good printed output. My favorite.

Spitfire: excellent address book and calender.  Designed as a Palm pda interface.  Aminet.  May require 68020.  The other favorite.

DataStore:  most of the functionality of Spitfire.  From a cover disk or maybe Digita's CD suite.

There are other selections on Aminet.

wow, didn't realise there were so many!

Just been through my old coverdisks as I thought I had SBase somewhere, but it seems not - PM on the way ;)

Only demo versions came up in my search on Aminet... But then I didn't try that hard!

Cheers,

Only problem is that the page editing part of the program will NOT work under 3.1 or above.
And even though it was released to two magazines, it is still completely copyrighted. Since Super Base is still supported, it is questionable if it is legal to exchange.
There's always Final Data from Softwood, but it doesn't handle dates correctly any more (remember the Y2K bug so many programs suffered from?)
AmigaBase26.lha is available on Aminet, and is a very powerful, relational, data base. It is completely legal to down load and use.
Actually Aminet is loaded with data base programs......
