In the MS-DOS days, I once wrote a CRUD in Turbo Pascal that was part of an inspection tracking system. To make it easier on myself, I stole an idea from dBase (the PC program, not the huge IBM Mainframe thing) and wrote myself a library that did screen editing fields in much the same way. It's a good idea with wide applicability.
