Nutshell 2.0
First released in 1984, Nutshell was one of the first easy-to-use general purpose databases. It was created by Nashoba Systems and initially distributed by Leading Edge.
It is a flat file database that features built in table and screen layout design. It also supports calculated fields and sorting.
Nashoba adapted the program to the Apple Macintosh and published this version through Forethought Inc. as FileMaker. Later, Nashoba was acquired by Claris, where the product eventually became FileMaker Pro.
