Quotes icon Quotes, the quotations manager

Quotes is a database software to handle quotations. It's one of the first software I wrote for the Newton and it is really simple. NewtonOS allows to write such software very easily. Indeed, NewtonOS doesn't use files but databases, and there is a framework in ROM, NewtApp, to make such database software like the built-in applications (card file, dates, notes, etc.).

Quotes only uses one class of data. The quotations can be sent by Infra-Red or by mail and can be read by Macintalk. Searches can be performed among quotations. All these features are made possible with few or even no line of code, thanks to NewtApp.

You can export your quotes to a text file with Victor Rehorst's NewtDump (runs under Windows).
