I work at the W.A. Museum where Douglas Elford is the photographer. He has
asked me to pass on to those who are interested in his system for
cataloguing photos the message that he is now also on e-mail. His address is

Unfortunately, I also don't know much about the system either, except that
it comes on a single 3.5" disk which contains a runtime version of Foxpro
2.5. A manual explains the how the system is setup and how the various
fields work. Most fields are accompanied by typing aids which alleviate
repetitious typing.
 
For a fuller and more accurate summary of its features contact Doug.
The PC system is a runtime version of FOXPRO 2.5 .
