Not that it is particularly related to anything, but if you are still
using DOS/DOSEMU, I have to ask if you have ever tried running
DataPerfect. I think it has been released for free somewhere. I used
it about 20 years ago and it was the only thing I ever saw where a
useful database program and its data could fit and run from a single floppy.
