Paul,
Try Panorama.  It is little known, but that is changing.  It does
everything FileMaker does only it does it much, much faster and easier. 
Filemaker last year bragged about being able to sort 15,000 files in 4+
minutes.  The same 15,000 files sort on Panorama in 17 seconds.

It runs in RAM and will run just fine on an 020 Mac and works on a
PowerPC almost before you push the key.

I don't understand why Provue hasn't marketed their product better, but
it has many loyal users and they are now porting to Windows environment.
