For a demonstration of MiAmiga, download MiAmig.Arc from the Business DL. It's more of a file manager than anything else…but seeing is better than hearing…Anyway, the demo version is crippled in that it will not print or save, and it does crash every now and then, but all other functions work. Minimal docs though, so be prepared to experiment! From what I've heard, Organize is a file manager as well..it's main usefulness in being that all files used with the program are in dBASE III format, and that it can communicate with both Scribble and Analyze. (Meaning that they can use each other's files). Don't know what Taurus is (never heard of it)…but DataMat is supposed to be a true relational database in all respects, and it as well uses dBASE III format files. Don't know if it will communicate with anything else though… At least, that's what I have heard from dealers and others. No warranty, implied or otherwise, is given on this information <Grin>

Capabilities are supposed to bve a superset of dBASE III, including miultiple databases open, sort/search acc. to keywords (U define 'em) as well as fields, and other goodies. Thing is, I can't really be too specific as all i have heard about it is advertising flyers and word-of-mouth..no actual demo in these greedy little hands…. Price: Supposedly 'round $200 for the full package… Ordering info: Will leave a msg. when 'tis actually available!
