[edit] 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. Users can specify the platforms as well as arbitrary categories, sub-categories and languages for any snippet of code, hyperlink, article or embedded file to structure their information. 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
- Mac OS X PPC, Intel and Universal Binary

The data file itself is a cross-platform binary file that runs natively under the Revolution code base and independently with standalone exectutables for all the above platforms.
