I am looking for a text-oriented database, something like a computerized
stack of 3x5'' cards, on which I can ``write'' notes, references, etc.,
file, and later retrieve, sort, search, etc.  The capability to ``link''
cards together would also be nice.  I don't need to generate fancy
reports from these, nor necessarily do calculations.  I would probably
want to send the text more less directly to a word processor or LaTeX
input file...

What is available for the PC, either PD, shareware, or moderately priced
commercial?

Thanks!!		martin wittmann
