Subject: DBMS NEEDED FOR CPM APPLE

My  organization  is  in  need of a DBMS to be used on an Apple running
under CP/M.  We originally intended to buy dBase II because it  seemed
too meet all our needs.  However, on closer examination, it fell short
in one area - max number of fields per record.  dBase II only allows a
max  of  32  fields per record and we need 48.  Our other requirements
include:
 
     a. 6000 records per data base file.
     b. 1000 characters per record.
     c. 250 characters per field.

All  of  these  requirements  refer to max capability needed.  We also
want it to be able to perform sorts and searches of the data base in a
timely manner (under five minutes).

If anyone has experience with a DBMS meeting these specs, please reply
to me directly.  I will summarize  to  the  net  if  there  is  enough
interest.  Thanks in advance.
