Thanx. I avoided mentioning anything up front so as to leave things wide open for the responses.

I'd filed this years ago, under Tainting, and didn't retrieve it until you mentioned it.

I use TreePad, the tree-structured editor, to file ideas under categories: http://www.treepad.com

There's a free version, and one with encryption for your passwords :-).

I'm glad to read your assessment. Seems there's been just a bit too much flattery and not enough about the struggles we are having in the real world. I do realize it's a very clever package, and frankly, I wish I could just pick it up and use it.

Sigh - I know the feeling.

I don't mind developing things. It's the _re_developing that's getting to me. Hence my hope that generic solutions would exist. I suspect many of us are in the same boat here. And yes, there are various programs, even PHP ones. But we're still not satisfied!

And more modules to evaluate! Gimmeabreak!
