Warplog

Warplog is a journal type program that allows you to record daily events or notes in a simple PM interface. Data is stored in a normal (human readable) text file (with a few high-ASCII characters). It provides a simple search facility for your entries.

History
Mark H. Tucker wrote this program because he couldn't find an acceptable application for this purpose under OS/2, DOS or Win16. It has was also an excuse for him to learn REXX and DrDialog. He was originally doing this for his own use but decided to make it available for public consumption.

The latest version produced is still a beta version since there are still things the author haven't tested thoroughly. The core of the program has been working well for the author and he had been using it daily for several months now without any data loss. He have about 18 months of data stored and it still seems to handle things efficiently. He made a few relatively minor changes and very few new features since version 0.95.
