INTRODUCTION
~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the QuickList 0.8.6 README document.

QuickList is a free (GPL) gtk+ program for any un*x system with gtk+ 1.2 or
better that allows novice and experienced users to keep track of "things"
without any help from a system administrator. "Things" can be anything,
including (but certainly not limited to!) bug lists, phone lists, restaurants,
team members, calendars, cool urls, checkbooks, fishing holes, CDs, bunjee
jumping cool sites, etc. It is completely flexible.

QuickList lists "things" in column format, much as they would appear in a
spreadsheet. Quicklist can sort lists of "things," search from them and
generate printable reports from them.

The native (.qlf) file format is non-relational, non-SQL. Comma and tab
delimited files can be imported and exported. In addition and html file
can be exported for publishing to the World Wide Web.

If you liked the Appleworks or Microsoft Works databases, you will likes
QuickList.

See the INSTALL file for installation instructions.


REQUIREMENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~
QuickList requires gtk 1.2.0 (or better), glib 1.2.0 (or better) and
