I was just sitting here today talking (well, listening, mostly) to someone
on the phone today, and meanwhile furiosly scribling notes onto my blotter.
Needless to day that never again will I be able to find these 'notes' since
A) Every conversation I have ever had is ingraved in that blotter, plus
doodles, ink spots, rings left from sweating glasses (by the way, how do
glasses sweat??) etc, etc...
B) I don't write, I scrible. You know, that wonderfull thing everone calls
shorthand and is only readable by the author...Well, this author can't
even read his own!
Anyways, what I am looking for is a TSR Database type program which will
allow me to keep notes and stuff all in one file in a Btree type format.
I want to be able to type in a subject line then type all sorts of info
on that subject, then be able to FIND it again! I need something that
will access all records with so and so in them (grep, anyone?) and search
by titles, etc, etc... Does such a beat exist in the public domain
(shareware, freeware, ware, etc, etc..)?
If so, where can I get it (preferably a BBS in the Dallas area, though I
can handle floppynet). If there isn't one in PD, then I guess leads
on comercial stuff will be appreciated too....(grudgingly)
Anyways, thanks in advance,
Robert Lord
