Jim,
Could it be Tdata and their templates? The demo on their website looks like
it does what you suggest.

Exactly Blanche, and what I remember is a program that was a GUI for the
FAA
site, that would go over all the ADs, TCs, and the like and be (for lack
of
a better word) an indexing program from which you could pick and choose
probable applicable ADs and such.

For example (from memory, possibly not correct) the C-172E could use Slick
or Bendix mags, but only one or two model numbers of each. The program
knew
this from the TC and let you select which particular mag went with the
aircraft you were inspecting. Once known (unless the mags were changed)
the
program would keep that particular N number in memory and tell you next
year
whether or not there were any new ADs on that particular model/serial
number
you had.
