Dear abi word users,

Here is some information about the database stuff.

The database type application for KOffice is called Rekall and it is
currently being developed by "The Kompany"
http://www.thekompany.com and
http://www.thekompany.com/projects/rekall/

This DB application will use one of many SQL engines available.
Current beta version supports (monolitic) dbf files, mysql and
postgresql.

It is currently almost usable. There are a reports designer, forms
designer, and the scripting language Python included in the
package.

I believe the 1st version will be released early next year.

sorry about posting if it of no interest to anyone of you, i just
wanted to clarify the current situation...
