Catalog of CD-ROMs - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

 Post subject: Catalog of CD-ROMs

Good day.

I have several CD-ROMs full of application notes, magazine articles, etc. I am in need of some way to set up a searchable database for these CD-ROMs.

I would like the database to somewhat build itself - i.e. I will have an ASCII file that would include company name and title (for an application note) and then this file could be imported to the database.

I would like to be able to search by date, author, title, magazine title, company name, and keyword.

Does anyone have some thoughts, ideas, or suggestions on how I could do this?

Thank you very much for your time and help.
Michael

a while ago, I kept 2x2 inch paperbox database.
andvantage: no power requirements, no passwords, no viruses, no new data formats. If it gets cold, burn it. :lol:
