It was actually somebody else that posted the question on Stack Overflow. I am running Fedora 13, and had bought a program for Windows that has a searchable library of sorts. I've been using Wine to run the program, but after looking through the eula that came with the program I noticed that there weren't any restrictions on porting the data, so I started trying to figure out how to write my own program to access the data, so that I could change the user interface (for the fun of it). This is my first attempt at anything of this nature so I am kind of learning as I go. Hope this helps.
