I use Dbase for my records collection records.  Tha nice thing about
     the database program is that there is a wide variety of compatable
     programs (Xbase) in Windows, DOS, UNIX and MAC that can use the data
     and programs that it generates.  There are even several shareware
     Xbase programs, the best known is called WAMPUM, which I understand is
     a very good program (although I confess that I have not tried it.)
     Good luck.
