Description
FACTZ is a repository for all those little bits of information that you normally write down on scraps of paper. FACTZ lets you enter freeform snippets of information, then retrieve them for viewing, modification or deletion.
FACTZ is a CGI application written in Eiffel. You can run it on a
personal webserver on your own computer, or on internet-accessible
webserver so that you can access and update your information from a web
browser anywhere in the world.
Roger Browne writes: I have no current plans to further develop FACTZ, but even in this initial release I hope you will find it useful as an example of how to write a clean CGI application in Eiffel.

Features
- The FACTZ web application uses CSS for page layout. The stylesheet is
provided in file factz.css and may need some tweaking for use with
browsers whose CSS support is quirky. You can also tweak the stylesheet
if you don't like the colour scheme :-)
- The FACTZ application does not use HTML frames, HTML tables, Java,
Javascript, Flash, etc. The FACTZ application produces validated
XHTML 1.0 and uses a validated CSS 2.0 stylesheet.
Usage
- Enter new snippets of information in the yellow "Enter New FACT" box.
- Summaries of existing snippets are displayed in the right-hand column.
You can enter a string in the Search box to see only snippets that
match your search text.
- Click on any item in the right-hand column to display the full text of
that fact. You can view, modify or delete the fact.
- Snippets are stored as plain text in file 'factz', so you can still
retrieve your data even if you have no access to the FACTZ application.
Naturally, if you are using FACTZ to store important information you
will need to provide for backup and security.
