List - A Simple Database - Updated

List - a simple databaseThe freeware database program List by Andrew Low (Roo) was recently updated to version 1.1.1.

List is a simple freeware database, distributed under the GNU General Public License. Modeled after the address book, it should be intuitive to use, it's supposed to look just like every other pilot application. List databases consist of a collection of records, each having 3 fields, two which can be customized and a generic Note field (arbitrary data). The latest release of List (English only so far) now supports 5-way navigation, but the website (www.lowtek.ca/list/) has older versions available for older PalmOS devices and other language support. List uses only 33k on your Palm (plus the size of your data files).

I have used List on my Palm PDA for years (version 0.99 was released in 2000). It's simple, easy to use, and even better, Canadian! I had no trouble at all learning to create my own List databases, and it has always worked flawlessly on every Palm I've ever tried it on, including my current T|X.

By the way: Andrew is "still looking for validation that List is working well on various devices, please drop me (him) a note if you have a device that version 1.1.1 works well with and it is not listed, or has a ? and I'll update the chart. So if you want to help out, you can download and use you own free copy of LIST, and then send Andrew feedback on your experiences.
