I can only tell you why I dismissed it: >> ISIS is a stock database designed for managing a stock of electronic >> components in an office, laboratory or warehouse. Sounds vaguely interesting so far. It sounds like sortof a nice idea, but my immediate impression is that for it to be useful it has to be accurate and that means it will take considerable work to maintain. I'm not sure knowning what I have in stock on line as apposed to peeking in a drawer is all that much better for me. >> It is optimised >> around adding new component types at the same time as adding stock >> since this tends to be a common activity in such situations. Um, OK. >> It is written in PHP 5.x using the nanoMVC Oh great, yet another web application. Just what the world needs! I don't know PHP, and I've never even heard of nanoMVC. The way you're talking about them it seems those that don't know how to spell PHP need not apply. I could very well be wrong, but I thought PHP is something that run= s on a web server. That means I'd have to set up a web server just to manage a parts database. Ugh. Inevitably I'll want to create programs that interface with this stuff, and whatever this PHP and nano-whatever stuff is sounds like a lot of manual digging time. This just doesn't sound accessible to me. http://isis.philpem.me.uk/nanomvc.html That link doesn't work. This is where I said to myself "screw this" and hi= t delete. ******************************************************************** Embed Inc, Littleton Massachusetts, http://www.embedinc.com/products (978) 742-9014.
