I hadn’t seen a mention of Calypso for a long time (since the outliners.com forum). I loved it, but had to switch to something more updated because it didn’‘t handle Unicode in which many Greek messages are written. It is impressive how, even today, one’s working language can limit the software tools available.
Re: Brilliant database. This is the first time I hear it. I looked at the website and it looks interesting. Any particular reason for using it, compared to Access, Alpha 5 or whataver else is available?
TIA

I’m using bdb for anything that requires auto-form-filling and custom exporting.
So far its proven to be versatile and easy to use. Still has a few annoyances,
but its being actively developed in response to feedback.
I haven’t seriously tried using access, alpha5 or filemaker so I can’t compare
them yet. Maybe later if I really hit a wall with bdb.

Keynote
Launchy
TurboNavigator
EccoPro
And (alas) Word
I lust for a true outliner, ala PCOutline and an updated version of Keynote that has all its features with better handling of web sites. But after hours of wasted time, I’m back to these older programs.
