RE the debate on PIMs, may I put a word in for Memory Mate? It is
inexpensive (especially from a mail order house) and not too hard to learn.
Its power is very limited; I would not want to try to keep extensive
research notes on it, but it is very useful for keeping track of
information that is extraneous to one's immediate heavy-duty purposes. It
is also serves well as a diary, a commonplace book, etc. As a TSR programme
it occasionally shows its teeth (it gets into a real hair pull with
Procomm) but on the whole I find it useful. John Sandys-Wunsch
