I don't see any reason to use this program. Storing simple tabular data in a proprietary format is a bad idea. No other program can read it. I suggest to use TSV or CSV and a program like EASY CSV to edit the data. It offers a lot more options to manipulate the data. Since tsv and csv are formats many programs can read, there is no dependency on the developer. Previously I used the AppleWorks database a lot, but now I have many files I can open no longer.
