Re: inventory software

Sorry if I was unclear.  No, the digital media is not distributed on
CD's.  The more important aspect of this type of inventory to my client
is the version retention, so that changes can be made without loosing
the original,  wa well as tracking the "production" (how many printed
copies of each version) have been requested.  In its simplest form, it
would require the ability to copy the core information about a product
to a new number and still retain the link to the original product ID for
product analysis.

Thanks
Wayne
