I took the spoiler list from paolo and entered it into an Access
database. I will be creating a windows 32-bit program using the
database. I had to separate the skills into separate fields, below is
an example of the runner "Kraker Jack".

Field Value
------------ ----------------
Name Kracker Jack
Profession Decker
Race Human
Cost 3
Recon 1
Attack 3
Body 2
Decking 2
Firearms 1
Text The first pistol given to Krakerjack is free.

All other fields such as piloting, armor, stamina, quote, and social
are left blank.

For this program I will be trying to implement the following
abilities.

1. Search one field for <,=,>, or any part of a value.
2. Keep track of decks with a "deck name" table and "cards in
deck"
table.
3. Keep track of the cards you own.
4. And of course browsing all the cards in the database.

I just began construction of the program yesterday and already have
the runner browse screen half way done. If you would like to see some
other functionality that I did not mention please let me know.

OOPS, almost forgot you can download what I have of just of the
database at the below address, including a bunch of queries I set up.

I had to set this list to digest so I maybe a day or two late to
anything you post on it. I am trying to get a seperate account for
just this list so I can keep in the discussions. If you would like a
response from me faster than two days please e-mail directly to my
Personal account.

You might want to put a post about this on the SRTCG list as well.
