The presentation is card-index like but the data it it presents can be 
arbitrarily long text as well as tabular data and images.  There would 
be no guarantee that the data could be fitted onto a card format.  As it 
stands I haven't added a print function as that wasn't it's purpose

Having said that the program is modular with the intention that custom 
card formats can be added so it wouldn't be impossible to change than. 
In fact I had reading the vcard format ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard ) in mind as a possible extra.  I 
wonder if anyone has considered adapting vcard as a genealogical record 
format.
