REGIS from Museum Research Associates, 11 Spring St., Hallowell, ME 04347, is ba
sed
on R:Base, which is a highly-competent relational database program (if not as bi
g a
seller as it used to be). It is a good program, reasonably priced with excellen
t
support. It can be customized for use with artifact, archival and library
collections. I'm sure there are others, too.
