[comp.unix.questions] general purpose data entry prog. in C

chris@zorin.UUCP (Chris Nielsen) (07/08/87)

Does anyone out there in C land know of, or, has written a general purpose, 
PD data entry program for entering data into ascii-databases?

I'm looking for a convient way to edit/enter /etc/passwd-like ascii files, 
phone lists/mailing lists/etc, posibly using curses, in C. These type of
files are great for quick things, using grep or awk, for searching &
formatting, but not too convienient for editing. Something like a 'tiny DBMS'.

It's the sort of thing I would write my self, but it seems like such a
usefull thing for those 'quick & dirty' office automation tasks, I thought
some of you may have done something like this already, or have some ideas.

Thanks for your interest!
