I tried to provide replacement IndexCard using data from
BrowserInformation. My current version misses important parts,
but I think that I can provide good replacement.

However, current IndexCard has:

coerce : String -> %
++ coerce(s) converts \spad{s} into an \spad{IndexCard}. Warning: if
++ \spad{s} is not of the right format then an error will occur when using
++ it.

This signature exposes internal representation and is incompatible
with replacement. But AFAICS it is also essentially useless:
argument string must be in database format, otherwise it would
not work. So I think that we should remove this signature.

Opinions?

Hello,

Personally I have no objection to this removal. I don't even know if it is used and as you said it seems useless.

If I remember correctly IndexCard was a simple, throw-away demo.

Thanks, Tim,

You're a guy, for me, that I like.

Sorry I am not an "affective" guy. I have to do do with that.
