Used to be a time here... I'm scratching my head trying to remember what the
old MS database was... the dodgy one that'd fall over and eat your
data...Access back at about win 95/98 Anyway there were a couple of guys
selling retail/inventory software that was just an access DB... so you could
probably describe it as programming for application.  Someone that needs to
crunch numbers doesn't need to programme, they just need to know how to use
the tools to do so.
