Good point, I will try another GUI

Hi Jeremy,

Wow, can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. Thank you for your hard work creating this. I am very interested in it both as analysis tool and code base I can use to practice long lost programming skills.

Microsoft has effectively turned them into MS Office drones. MS Office is a conformity box that stifles imagination ...

Thanks for pointing that out Jeremy, I will keep it in mind.

Thank you Dr. Hyatt, this is very helpful.

Looking for some guidance. I am considering a plan to develop an analysis-centric and game management tool/GUI, and want to leverage SCID's database format for one of the features I need.
