I understand from a friend who is in a similar situation that
the DOS version of InMagic is now available as freeware on
their website, www.inmagic.com/ Try downloading it and see
if it will help you.

I hope this question hasn't been asked before. I did try to
check the
archives. I'm the first librarian for a small, private law library.
 Currently the inventory and budget are in WordPerfect and
the serials
check-in is done using Q&A, a database program. All of
these are just done
on forms I made up. We hope to go to Microsoft Word or
WordPerfect for
Windows and Excell in the future. Is there a (cheap, cheap)
library
automation package that would do budget,
acquistions/checkin and inventory
that is suitable for a small library? I've even thought about
trying
programs made for schools.

Thanks in advance,
