Stephen,

To me, the thing that is great about Zoot is how much thought went into this program. It is all about making it easy to parse your information any way you want to. It’s easy to put information in, slice and dice it to your heart’s content, then it’s easy to get it out. Easy once you know how it works, that is.

Basically, I’d say the real central concept of Zoot is its amazing flexibility. You can build your databases to do many different things, and at a broad spectrum from simple to complex. My previous set of examples, I hope, demonstrates this.
