Now all we need is a PC version of Bento.
I maintain a database for a not-for-profit organisation. The secretary
is on a PC and I have installed AW6.2 on his machine. The updated file
from my Mac is sent to him and he drops it on his machine and opens it
with no trouble. So simple. If I move to Lion I will need to keep a
family - at least two generations - of Macs to maintain access to all files.

Hi David,
Like you I’ve been waiting for an alternative to AW’s Database. Tried Bento
before, but this version might just do it for us, perhaps?

As Daniel says, Bento 4 has just been released, and seems to address one of its
greatest weaknesses, which has always been printing. It now has support for
mailing labels, decent form printing, and printer-friendly themes. Bento will
happily import tab-delimited text files created by the AppleWorks database
module, so now that printing has been addressed it seems it might be finally a
decent replacement for AppleWorks (it certainly is in most other respects).
