“AskSam”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

askSam, from askSam Systems, was a "free form" database desktop application that competed with a number of other personal information manager (PIM) applications.

It was noted for organizing disparate information such as email messages, documents, text files, spreadsheets, addresses, web pages into dynamic folders, and allowing these to be easily searched, and the results exported to spreadsheets or as a report.^[1]

History

The Florida company askSam Systems was formed in 1985, and the earliest versions of askSam were for DOS,^[2] but later versions were for Microsoft Windows. As well as the base desktop version, there were Professional versions with a more powerful search,^[3] and networked versions. A web-publishing option was also available with "askSam Electronic Publisher".^[4]
