Re: Linux freeform text database

[Mike Miller <miller5@uiuc.edu>]

I've used a thing called grok some, but not extensively.  It may
be just what you are looking for.  From the help intro:

The forms can be easily edited with a graphic layout tool.  It
comes with a couple of examples.  It runs well under linux and
other unix systems, which is a big plus for me.  There is not
currently a debian grok package, but there are linux binaries
available.  There's info at
