If I want to store information for a long time, I generally keep it in
a database of some sort. This can be a flat file with space or tab
separated fields, a dbm database, or a real database like sybase/oracle/informix.
As long as you have tools for extracting the data, these are all good
solutions. Also, tcl has access to all these formats either natively or
via extensions.
