just realized how difficult it is to describe what i'm trying to find in the subject of a message . . .
used to be, back in the dos days, a dandy little application called "info-select." you'd open a window and type in anything -- names and addresses, notes, to-do lists, whatever. totally free-form. and totally searchable. it was very popular, but i've in 10 years found nothing in the *nix world that approaches it. the closest i found was xmbase-grok, which i used until switching to kubuntu over the weekend. i have addresses and notes and other information going ack for years in my grok database, which is a single textfile. i sought to install grok under ubuntu, but the whole thing has been deprecated.
so i'm seeking a replacement. for a time it looked as if kjots might work, but it never got searchable and it has itself apparently been deprecated.
i'm not looking for something elaborate, no sql database or anything like that. just a nice little desktop app, sort of an unstructured pim. freshmeat seems to have nothing.
anyone know of such an application, and where it might be found?
thanks in advance.
