 * Database -- A very simple database program to        *
 *              lookup names in a hardcoded list.       *
 *                                                      *
 * Usage:                                               *
 *      database [-S<file>]                             *
 *                                                      *
 *      -S<file>        Specify save file for           *
 *                      debugging purposes              *
 *                                                      *
 *              Program will ask you for a name.        *
 *              Enter the name; it will tell you if     *
 *              it is the list.                         *
 *                                                      *
 *              A blank name terminates the program.    *
