I'm trying again. It's been years and I still haven't found a good
replacement for the old Windows cardfile program. I like this
original best of all, still! All I would see is clickable links so
that email addresses and webpages can be easily accessed by a link
(also, if memory serves, Cardfile is 8.3 rather than LFNs so a 32bit
replacement would be ideal). Having a standalone like Cardfile would
be great, too. I remember running it off of floppies.

I've looked and looked, again, this morning with again no luck. AZZ
Cardfile and Treepad and others I've tried throughout the years are
all great but don't do the job. I'm looking, just for trialing, at
some shareware, but despite promises, have a feeling they won't cut
it, either.

If anyone knows of something that is not tree-based, that has
rolodex-style accessibility to cards, i.e., access via alphabet-style
buttons, but that also has clickability, pls advise.

Thanks everyone! :oD

why use anything else? i've been using cardfile from day one and like you
i've tried others but keep coming back to the original. nothing like it.
small, fast, and imho efficient for my needs.

rolodex (yes the brand name) used to have one that worked with windows
3.1 not sure if there were any updates or if its still available (but it
was freeware at the time)

Interesting. I found it after some searching. Here it is:

I had to re-create the tabs so that I had one tab per letter and that
just meant making an NDX file per letter, i.e., A.ndx, B.ndx, etc., as
the program wouldn't allow for deleting tabs ABC.ndx. But by doing it
manually, no problem. Then I just had to update the TABS.LST file to
have only those file names listed.

Neat little program, links all clickable and that works.

Thanks.
