I originally had the old CB program that could be downloaded free.  It was
supposed to be a Demo, but you could make it do anything the origenal did with a
little fixing. I still think it was great.  But I went on to Chessbase 6, 7, and
8.  They are all worth the price, even though I liked 7 lots.  I don't think you
will be disappointed if you get any of them, depending on the Windows you get.
XP seems to have a few problems with the Chessbase programs, but 98 works great.
 I have used other chess database programs and I think Chessbase is the best.
Of course, there are  others that are good.  It just depends on what you want.
I think Chessbase covers most everything well.  Of course, there is lots of free
stuff out there which might suit you.  I would check out the free stuff first.
But from my experience, I would go with Chessbase. Windows 98 works well with
Chessbase, Windows XP can be a bit flakey at times, I repeat!
