Here are the fields I would think would be important

Toolbox/FN Name
Library it lives in (or include/header)
Carbon Status (Supported/Not Supported/Not Recommended
Carbonlib Version/Header Version
OS Recommendations
68K Hex operators (can just be shown with the toolbox)
Contributor


And, what would be most cool for later, link to Apple's official
documentation for that call. If Michel's Most Excellent Toolbox Helper
could be finagled to run from FMP after you ship the text to be searched
for to it, that would solved that to my utter satisfaction as well.

Michel's Toolbox Info plugin get used 5-10 times a day here for toolboxes,
record searches, anything I stick into it  :)

It's the MAX
