Depending on what you want it for, you might find ScrapFinder (located in the 2.0-release/demos directory I believe) to be worthwhile. I use it for a Roladex and my wife is slowly building a cookbook with it. With a little augmentation it could be quite a nice program (it's shareware, $10 as I remember) but the author, Jeff Blum, has taken a position with NeXT I think, and that leaves ScrapFinder in much the same black hole as BackSpace or NewsGrazer. Any comments Jeff? Another package to look at might be Simson Garfinkle's SBook which has lots of good features. It's a "for sale" application, but is priced sensibly (a' la' Diagram!, Concurrence, etc.) at only $50 for students. Quite a deal for the price and I'm planning to order a copy in the next few days. There's a demo in 2.0-release/demos, and I think the manual (in ps form) is in the submissions directory. Hope this is Helpful Tom
