I am setting up a few small projects in Softwood's Final Data 3 (Birthdays, computer collection, etc). SuperBase 4 Pro and even MFF+ were overkill. Does anyone like something other than Final Data? It works, but looks so sterile. Ideas?


FD3 Is easily the best I tried on the Amiga for non-addresses.  Before buying it, I tried several cover disks, some of the Aminet offerings, Superbase, and a Softwood release before FD3 (Softbase?).

For addresses and people, Ralph Torchia's Spitfire3 is excellent.  It syncs with the older serial Palms.

... If I remember correctly, Final Data was very limited as a true database program, when compared to the others that were available on the Amiga, or any other platform...


FD, and most everything else mentioned, were simple "flat file" database programs.  By that time, relational database programs were in vogue on other platforms.  I believe Superbase was one of the few (only?) relational databases available on Amiga.  I don't remember any Amiga database offering much in the way of simple data transfer with the big names on the Windows platform.  This is what hurt the most.
