	Yes, it's largely text. All you really need is a programmable
database program. I created two databases, one for incoming news,
one for Data Library. Then created a menu for the players to access.
Because it's a database, I can perform searches using one or
many keywords, or do something like "List Entries > 111-1120."
Works quite well, the players were happy to see a computer role playing
a future computer. :)

	As for portable, well afraid. Hey, I only spent 3 hours on
this thing, portablity was not on my mind. (grin)
