HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT
First database of medical publications was created in dBase III in 1991. Two years later, program was rewritten in Clipper language, and since 2002 it has been developed in Delphi, which has convenient tools for databases. In 2018, the database was transferred to a more reliable and faster SQLite, and in 2020, app for Android devices was developed (fmcatalog). Since the main scientific researches are published in English, all text resources are also translated into English. Program can run on Linux through Wine. The author uses the program almost daily and constantly updates it to improve it's efficiency.
