HERBAGE V2.0 FOR WINDOWS
Herbage v2.0 for Windows is a botanical database system - an application
that is specifically designed for keeping track and manipulating very large
amounts of botanical information. Users can add, modify, sort, search &
replace, and export a subset of data from the database to the printer as a
fully-formatted illustrated report.
Every copy of Herbage v2.0 for Windows comes with a library of
ethnobotanical information, focusing on the medicinal uses of over 2600
plants: common names, medicinal action, ailments the plant is used to
treat, indigenous use, mail-order sources, range, habitat, and compounds
the plant is known to contain.
As the number of Herbage users continues to grow, human plant
knowledge expands. Herbage data libraries are easily exchanged over the
Internet, through e-mail and ftp, as easily as any other text-format file.
Herbage is the tool for anyone who wants to organize botanical information
of any sort. Users can create their own libraries, and work with multiple
libraries at one time. The process of adding or removing libraries, which
are stored as a text file with an ".hl" extension, is very similar to
opening and closing a document with a word processor.

2. Windows 3.x, 95, or NT
3. 20 megs of free hard disk space
