Subject: Re: KirbyBase: DateTime and Memo

I hadn't heard of Kirbybase before your post - but I agree with you so 
far looking at it

There does not seem to have been any interest in it for 2 years - anyone 
know what happened?

I would love to be of help with the bugs but am not an expert so may 
take me some considerable time!
