To keep this brief, let me state a conclusion now: PROMIS software is the software that will be used by the antichrist in the final period of this age to track everyone, to see that none buy or sell lest they receive his 'mark'.

I had forgotten about this notion.

I okay, I read it. Now, if someone could explain to me how release of this software is damaging. If it is glorified database software, then the importance isn't in the software but in the passwords so that you can extract the information that you want. If that is the case, then it is not the software that is the key, but the passwords. And if that is true, then changing the passwords solves that problem.

Promis is a big deal and also involved with Koresh at WACO

Also the reason Kennedy was shot. It is so top secret it was stored at area 51.

Can someone explain -- in NON programmer terms -- how this program is used and why it would be a threat to national security? I'm lost.

Know that Promis is a big deal and also involved with Koresh at WACO.

How definite is that, i.e., do we know for a fact that a Davidian helped develop the software?

I nearly fell off my chair when I heard this on Fox!
I didn't catch it all so I did a quick Google search.
There sure wasn't much (nothing current) but I did find this:

Don't you think there is someone out there who might be able to step up to the plate to solve all these problems? He could take controls of information and financial difficulties. He could get all the "kings" together and bring "peace and security." He could co-opt all the major world religious leaders - to preach tolerance and common ground. Why, he could even sign an agreement with all the parties.

ugh....can you say antichrist.....

So this appears to be a project management/project costing set of software ... big deal.

actually it is a fairly primative relational database, not a contact database. It is far inferior to SQL.

If you had looked at the links posted earlier in this thread, you would be well aware that PROMIS can talk to both ODBC data sources and Oracle, which, yep, is SQL.
