Technical Information of Scholar's Aid
Structure

Scholar's Aid 4 AE is a program package that includes a bibliographical data manager called Library, an importing/exporting manager called DataRetriever, and a notes/information manager called Notes. The three programs are tightly integrated using OLE Automation technology, thereby enabling you to achieve levels of flexibility and control over your data that no other comparable program can match.
This structure allows new modules to be added without any major restructuring -- highly expandable.
