Try many organizers at once!

Argentum announces the release of Coolbase 2.3, a unique tree-like database software that can keep any kind of information, such as text, numbers, links, pictures and music, in a tree outline database. Coolbase can serve as a note taker, a diary keeper, a recipe book, a personal contact list, a link organizer, a photo album, a text editor, and more. With Coolbase it is possible to seamlessly organize information of any type, build complex dendritic structures, attach descriptions, use a powerful search, publish data using HTML, XML and CSV formats to share it with friends, colleagues, and anyone else who could be interested in this data.

Michael Smith, a scientist from UK, writes in his company feedback letter: "...The more I play with Argentum Coolbase the more I see its potential for information storage and retrieval. I had, oddly enough, been thinking about designing something in Microsoft Access for dendritic information storage but thought it would take far to long for my poor programming skills to cobble together. Argentum Coolbase is fast and small which is a pleasant surprise nowadays..."

This newest release offers an exclusive feature to export tree databases into XML and CSV. While HTML format is good for most of the purposes of visual presentation, XML and CSV could work better if you need to export Coolbase trees into another database program, spreadsheet or plain text using information-centric, structured presentation. The HTML output is now in additional conformity to CSS level one specification, resulting in better rendering in today's CSS-compliant browsers, like Internet Explorer 6, Opera 7, Netscape Navigator 7 and others.
