   What features would your database have? Would it be a "flat-file" type of   
   database, like DFile 128? Or would it have the features of something like   
   Pocket Filer 3 and Superbase    
   128?

   I don't know about what DFile 128 and "flat-file" databases are, but my   
   program is supposed to have five different types of fields--it is to use my   
   Fields library--and up to 20 entries per record, one per line.  It is to have   
   certain frills, i.e.    
   multiple configurations and user-defined colors.  Other than that, it would   
   have all the features common to general-purpose database programs, i.e. sort,   
   search, etc.  It's also going to do a little compression of files, just a   
   little.  If you have any    
   other ideas, please post them!  :)
