Data Master is one of the programs I'm still looking for.  But if it
has problems, then I'm not so intereted.  OS-9 hard drives seem fragile
enough as it is, without running buggy software.

No, I haven't gotten that far.  Just a little inventory of something I
only have 4 of, just to see if it actually worked.  

To import data, I'd guess you'd need to write a proper input form.  I
just used the automatic form and report generators, so I don't know
how flexible the form language actually is.

Being taught SQL make me back away from ALL database work for about a
decade.  I'm sort of easing my way back into it, splitting my database
time between MySQL (yuck, SQL!), Paradox 3.5 (always my favorite), and
now Sculptor.

Of course, if I really want *PAIN*, I have dBase II for CP/M and
TRSDOS... ;-)
