KingFisher is a replacement tool for Aquarium. Unlike Aquarium, KingFisher uses a multi-volume database which can be modified by hand, reads contents files, even Usenet postings, without the need to remove text (such as mail or message headers), can follow version links to quickly scan for older or newer versions of software, can send a variety of reports to either printer or file (database export), handles scalable and proportional fonts, can remove entries from the end of the database, provides multiple search strings to select from, an optional range of disks to limit a search to, will iconify to save Chip RAM and works under both KS 1.3 and 2.0 For the uninitiate: Q: But what _IS_ KingFisher? And Aquarium? Has it got anything to do with pet stores? A: Very little. That is to say, nothing at all. Aquarium was so named because it provides storage (database) services for the descriptions of the disk contents released by one named Fred Fish. You will immediately notice Fred's last name, wherefore the disks he releases are generally called "Fish Disks." Aquarium simply played on that name, and KingFisher does, too. ._.
