[comp.os.msdos.apps] Software for article abstract

wdh@holos0.uucp (Weaver Hickerson) (06/14/91)

Can anyone recommend a package to run under DOS and allow a fairly
sophisticated (ie efficient) method for creating and managing abstracts.
By abstracts, I mean I'd like to write short (or longish) abstracts of
newspaper/mag articles, books, etc and retrieve them by keyword later.
I'd like to be able to narrow down the search arbitrarily (ie keyword,
author, date)

The abstract would indicate title, date, author, keywords, etc, etc.
Obviously it could be done in a database, but is there any software
designed specifically for this purpose and with a simple user interface? 

Commercial packages are fine.

Thanks,

Weaver
