Have you taken a look at Boudewijn's Kura?

*cough* *wheeze* If you're not a perfectionist programmer then maybe
it'll go fast but *cough* I've actually never really *finished* a
program, there's always something that could have been done better...

I use Shoebox 4 (the few times I bother to boot into windows) and
otherwise update the shoebox-format dictionary-files by hand and RCS.

OT: Talking about software, if there's any genealogists here, is it in
any way possible to have an unknown-sex person be both a mother and a
father (to two different children) at the same time in Gedcom? *Grr*
silly christian- and humanocentric format; but still it *is* the
standard... I'd hate to have to make my own programs when there's
already so many using Gedcom.
