I&#39;ll mention EDB, emacs data base, here, even though I haven&#39;t used it for several years.   <br><br><a href="http://gnuvola.org/software/edb/">http://gnuvola.org/software/edb/</a><br><br>It&#39;s available on many GNU/Linux distros, as a package.  It is for Gentoo, and perhaps for Debian/Ubuntu as well.  <br>

<br>It is extensible/programmable, so that various interfaces could perhaps be possible.  I spent a little time years ago setting up an Addresses database, with output formats to automatically set up a LaTeX header for each marked address.  It was a bit klunky, to be sure, but it worked REALLY well, and it worked the way I wanted it to.<br>

<br>It&#39;s an old piece of software.  I tried it lately with my address DB, with Emacs 23, so it may just still work fine.<br><br>In the examples directory, above, are a rolodex database, possibly somewhat similar to what I had going, and some other examples.   There has been some relatively recent effort into maintaining EDB.<br>

<br>I write this not as a programmer, but a user, just to point to something that has worked well for me in the past.<br><br>Alan Davis<br>
