database setup on win98

[Jim Conner]

You could either go with Access, Delphi, or Kylix.  Good thing about Kylix is 
that it is cross-platform.  I've done some messing around with Delphi.  It's 
easy to put together a decent prototype without touching a line of code.  To 
put in all the bells and whistles that the end-user invariably wants, you 
will have to do some coding.  Kylix is much the same way.  You can take a 
look at the free version of Kylix and decide if it is something you want.  
One other choice is to use HTML and PHP to access the database with a 
browser.  I'm sure there are other choices as well.
