List – A Simple Database

List 0.98

February 25th, 2000

A few minor bug fixes in both List and the companion program listdb.exe. I’ve also finally tackled the note editing problem people have had with large notes. Now when you are editing a record with a large note a new “Note” button appears that allows you to go to a full screen editing mode for the note field.Two new translations: Russian, and Danish. Thanks to Valery Sukhanov and Henrik Clausen. If you are interested in helping to create a translation for List please contact me. Please also let me know if there are errors in the translation, or improvements to the translations that exist.

a Kirk Conyers kirkconyers@excite.com built a List to Word conversion tool in Perl. list2wrd.zip This is a good example of how you can quite easily extend List (and its companion tools) into an integrated custom solution. Using the Perl script you can make a very pretty “print out” of your List databases.

A few people have emailed me with problems with List — they have failed to read the readme.txt file and have mistakenly installed ALL of the .prc files. You only need to install ONE of the .prc files. The other .prc files are the different translations of List.
