   In MS-WORKS, the Database facility enables fields (columns) to describe an   
   entity (rows), but doesn't seem to enable a classification of entities, as   
   is inherent in Windows generally, ie. its use of folders and files.   
     The only way I can provide a "classification", eg. of geological time   
   periods, is to repeat the "genus" down a field, such that it covers a   
   "species".   
     Maybe there is some way of doing this in MS as a whole, but I can't locate   
   it.   
     Or, is there any software available which specialises is this?
