1) Like Harry Binswanger and Carl Distefano, I am an obsessive notetaker on
the computer, and have found it enormously beneficial over the years.
Until recently, I have kept them in entirely in XyWrite. I wrote an
extensive XPL system to maintain that library of information, including a
set of functions for names/addresses.

2) Recently, I have turned to Visual Basic and have created a much more
controlled approach to maintaining information including
names/addresses/institutions (which happens to now be in a microsoft access
- [.mdb] database. I am looking forward to SmartWords (which incorporates
VB), which should then allow me a pretty seamless interface.

3) I would be interested in the adt.com utility. Could you please email it
to me as an attachment?

Thanks
