Hi, I'm new here but I live in database land. The work already put into the CAD program inventories should not be underestimated. For your text file format, use columns, use tabs or commas for delimiters. People should be able and expected to enter (...) (27 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.inv)

That interface was a quick prototype and an experiment to get the feel of cross-referencing hops between different object types. It was never meant as anything but a (...)

(...) Well, there are several reasons I am not going to do that. First off is that I know how to program Access. Those who know how to program other systems have not put forth the time to make one in their programming language of choice, so I will (...)

(...) Why not adopt XML? Watching this thread, I have seen discussions about parsing such inventories in different programming languages and about the fact that it should be readable by human beings. XML is designed exactly for that. There are a (...) (27 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.db.inv)
