ShimmerDB is a flat file database, and a Gilligan's Island kind of project.
It began as a simple three hour cruise when a friend, Greg Donner, asked for a
program that would open a window with a few string gadgets in it and load and
save the gadget's contents.  The result was a program that resembled the left
half of ShimmerDB's interface and behaved a lot like a line editor (when it
behaved at all :-)  ).

A suggestion of improvements by Greg resulted in an initial reaction of,
"Eek!  That's a database!", and eventually this program, ShimmerDB.  Although
still a work in progress, version 1.0 of ShimmerDB is stable and fully
functional, with more than a few nifty features.

Features:

  - Store multiple lines of text (up to 65,500) in any field.

  - A font sensitive, resizable, and (mostly) style guide compliant interface.

  - 65,500 records per database, and each record may contain up to 65,500
    fields.

  - Clipboard support:  cut, copy, and paste to and from units 0 - 9.

  - Fields may be set to execute AmigaDOS commands or applications, and the
    data from the current or other fields  may be passed as parameters to the
    command.

  - Databases may easily be combined wth other databases.

  - Fields, records, and multi-line text each have a 100 item undelete buffer.

  - Runs on any public screen.

  - Tested with Enforcer and MungWall.
