AppleWorks DataBase Browser!!!



Does anyone know of something similar to this, how to contact Jay Jennings, or
know what needs to be done to update this program for AppleWorks 5?

I just received some SoftDisk issues from an eBay bid.  Included in the regular
issues is a disk titled "SOFTDISK BACK ISSUE CATALOG."  Now side A of the disk
was gone, but I salvaged side B.   What I've found really exciting is the
program "ADB.BROWSER" that the label lists as being on both sides.  By Jay
Jennings, the "SoftDisk ADB Browser" is something that I've been looking for
for a long time.  It's the complimentary program to QuickView for AppleWorks
word processor files:  small, fast and clean.  I use my databases quite often
at school alone and sometimes it's a bother to have to boot up AppleWorks just
to look at the data.

My problem?  I've tried it with databases created with AppleWorks 1 through 4
and it's working fine, but AppleWorks 5.1 databases  prompt the response
"Sorry, this file has too many records."  The file is smaller than others that
I've tried.  The only difference that I can find is that it was saved as an
AW5.1 database file.  

I suppose that I could go on booting AW5.1 to just view the database records,
or start using AW4.3 instead, but it would be sweet to modify this program for
AW5.1 as well, or use a separate version just for 5.1!
