- I second the vote for InfoSelect (someome recommended Tornado, and
- mentioned that IS is the upgrade). I use it for exactly the purpose you
- related. You don't need to specify keywords, though you could, as it has
- a*very* fast string search function, and optional automatic dating (and
- time-stamping, if you want!) of all entries. It has a few other useful
- functions, in addition to being a TSR, which is great when you're in the
- middle of writing something on your wordprocessor and need to chase up a fact
- or reference. It also comes with a disk/memory swapping module that allows
- you to run it in about 7K of main memory.
- BTW, I'm not associated with the company, etc. - just a very
- satisfied customer.
