Databases

[Thon de Boer]

Is there a program (MAC or UNIX) which can read the databases in the format
as it is used in the journal contents newsgroup (or the EMBL sequence database)
and do searches and produce reports etc ?
The format in which a field of a record is preceeded by a two letter name.
I would especially like a program for the Mac.

Thanks in advance
