ANN: openPIM Beta 1.0

[El Gee]

While I personally have not used this, it looks very good.

http://openpim.sourceforge.net/index.shtml

From the web page:

openPim allows you to store your contacts, web-links, passwords and notes
in one opm-file

openPim features:

* Easy lightweigh user interface
* Hierarchical data structure
* Encryption of the selected nodes or of the whole base
* GZip-compression reduces the data-file size
* opm-files are xml-based, so you can read them with any text editor
if openPim is inaccessible
* Handy Ctrl-F search feature
* Free and open source


Using openPim you can get such an advantages:

* All your personal information is stored in one files. You can carry
it between your home and office PCs, you can always have it with yourself
on a flash-card
* You don't have to remember lots of passwords. Encrypt them with one
password you remember and no one will ever read them except you
* You can use any browser you like, and even all of them. If your
web-links are in the opm-file they'll always be with you
* You will never lose addresses, phones, icq, email, web-pages of
your friends, relatives and colleague

To run openPim you need .NET Framework installed. If you havn't got one
please download it from Microsoft:
..NET Framework (23 Mb)

Too bad - it looked good. :-(

It's a shame that the open source community produces software which
requires Micr$hits .NET crap to run.

It's a greater shame that idiots like you think everything MSoft does is
shit. Grow up.

"If God was out there booing me, I'd be upset."
Upset is hardly the word.

I don't have anything against Microsoft. It's just that I'm not about
to download 23 Mb of .NET framework just so I can run a PIM. No
thanks, I'll just stick with Treepad for now!

I second that motion. I've been avoiding .NET

As a point of information, I DO have .NET installed (for something else that
needed it).
I thought it was worth a look, only a few hundred K download.
On first run, it generated an error and quit on me (Win98SE).

You called it crap not that it was big in size. And at the astounding cost
of HD these days, I surely see your point.

I have .net installed, but I still can't install this software on my
W98 machine. Ah, well, I was hoping to hold out for Vista.

 

[cdubea]

Will this run under Mono instead of .NET?

No need to avoid it anymore. Now comes courtesy of XP SP 2 and will be
built into Windows Vista IIRC.
