Holy shite! That database program looks great. Is the record limit
primarily one of the file format or of available memory. You should
put it up for download right away.

As for the App framework, it's a good idea, but I would suggest that
you port it to FreePascal, as Borland Pascal-generated apps act wierd
(and sometimes won't even run) on machines faster than 200 or so MHz.
Also, EMS support is a bad idea, as that require an EMS manager to be
installed which eats quite a bit of conventional RAM. XMS support
would work better as HIMEM.SYS is WAY smaller than EMM386 (or any
other EMS provider)
