CanDB

Infocom did it!  Seirra Online did it!  Now I've done it!   A proprietary database format that no one will ever use.  Will it bankrupt me?  Who knows?

... or export it into a document for future use.

Installation

LINUX

1. git clone https://github.com/universalanalogue/CanDB.git
   
   

2. chmod +x -R CanDB ; cd CanDB
   
   

3. Load ./candb.sh. It will automatically create a template cdb (CANDATABASE) file to use for the database. If you register a can with option 3, and it doesn't exist in the UPC register, it will start the UPC registration function. Reports generated with option 5 can be exported in the reports interface using the e key.
