dbms

Hi!

     There another question about applications. Now about DBMS.

     Some time ago I work with very-very nice DBMS, called Nutshell. This is
small DOS application. How it works: you "draw" form (by inserting colored
text and "fields" - areas to enter data), then works through this form with
base. All stored in one file. There are no steps to define base structure,
structure defined by fields in form. When entering data you may copy fields
from other forms. You may select order in which records will be scrolled or
subset, which will be available to scroll.

     Sure, this is very convenient way, even this program not allows to
perform more complex actions - set relations between tables and define
"vocabularies" (for example, table of authors to insert in table of books),
define more complex records structure (hierachy and network).

     Unfortunately, I lost this program. Also, it have some troubles when
base growth - for example, it fails when my friend tried to catalogize all
its home library (not small, though).

     Are anyone know other DBMS which for DOS, small, convenient? I try some
from garbo, but all of them incomparable - usually they try to repeat dBase
II/III interface, which are not so convenient for use without programming
(for example, how implement possibility to copy fields when editing forms)?
