Don't worry, Joe, I didn't waste too much time. I program very fast as it comes natural to me. I probably only spent about 4 - 6 hours TOTAL creating the program. Probably less time than many people spent creating a database in Access or Excel. It also doesn't hurt that about 30% of the code was taken from a golf stats database that I wrote a while ago.
As far as writing it in DOS: I only own a DOS compiler. Besides, in my job almost everything we do is in DOS and UNIX. We write for DOS so that it is easily portable to UNIX.
So... if anyone want this data base for UNIX, you're in business

: Chris,
: No offense but didn't I read about you in Dilbert?
: Writing your own database package... in C... for DOS!!!
: Where do I begin? ;-)
: While I realize that the people involved in FIRST can't be too concerned about 'wasting' their personal time, I think you are getting close to the edge here
