Hello Eddie!! If I may suggest a few parameters for a usable database might
be the following . I used "Family" as the first , next species, followed by
location, habitat , date found , type acquisition I.E. trade from bill,
taken from eye of idol, dredged off three mile island etc.
A program called "MY DATABASE" worked fine for me but needed a good bit of
patient diddling . I did manager to recall any item listed alphabetically. I
once gave away a few copies but the idea never got past beta testing . Good
Luck ,
