I was thinking about doing something like this myself. An access database
tied to a VB front end, and with an XML import/export feature so you can
simply export custom cards, post them on your page in XML, and then someone
can download them and import them into their version of the program.
Alternatively, you could export to HTML for actual viewing on a web page.

However, since I'm still fighting with Pocket Secretary '98, and I have to
get parts of the Archive and TSS Productions back online before I get
lynched, I probably wouldn't be able to work on this for at least a month.

Would there be any/much interest in a util that would do this? I don't want
to code something that only a couple of people would use, but I could see
this as being very useful for the custom card sets that some people are
making up.
