 For Macintosh users with the current operating system, I've created a dashboard widget that searches CollectSpace. You can pick it up at http://www.raykatz.com/ncc/  P.S. - Robert: I've used the actual CollectSpace logo on the widget; if you don't like this, let me know and I'll remove it... |

 To write this kind of widget, I'd need access to a PC to start. I don't even know how to write one, but I'm told they are easier to write than widgets for the Mac. So, it's possible I could do one...but probably not real soon... |

 As someone whose done a little widget writing and has access to a PC I'd be happy to help if you want to try and port it over to Konfabulator. Tim |
