Description

The Scripter's Scrapbook from Flexible Learning is a cross-platform personal reference library and code repository that "provides the convenience of the desktop with the resources of the web" for programmers, web authors and software writers.

Records can be searched, selected and displayed either full page or with any of three index types (alphabetical, history and hierarchical tree). Tools include customizable XML code colorization schemes, drag and drop import, export options for csv, html and xml, compressed backups, a presentation toolkit with annotations and images, and an API for plugins, extensions, add-ons and IAC (inter-application communications).

* Mac OS System 9
