[lazarus] Text file database as a first step...?

[Matt Henley]

Check out SQLite.  It is text based and a simple
interface for Delphi has been written (I think you can
find it on the torry site ( http://www.torry.net ) and
do a search for sqlite.  Its not graphical so it
should be easy to get to work.
