Hmmm, I've written a program called Research Assistant see http://r-a.sf.net for details.
It uses MySQL as its database backend. The code was written on windows and runs stably there. Technically its completely portable to linux since it uses QT, but it needs a few tweaks and a makefile. Right now, I'm too busy to even do this, but if some one wants to take a shot, the code is in CVS (no tarballs yet :( ) -kg On Fri, 14 May 2004, arinbasu wrote: > Hi Kaushik, Mandar, and List: > > Greetings and thank you for the suggestions when I > looked for solutions regarding installation woes of > btparse.
