Good Evening:

My Name is Bruce Osterberg,  and I live in Antioch, IL.  I have been
collecting shells for several years, and now it time to start cataloging
them.  I have been writing down everything about them,  but now that I have
access and excel.  I was wondering if anyone knows a good program for
cataloging shells?  I liik forward to the interaction with this group.  I am
especially interested in Conus.

Bruce
