Infoselect 9 Preliminary Version

Well, I succumbed to my CRIMP nature and upgraded to Version 9. Jack, if you stopped using IS after versions 6, you’ll likely find this latest version much more powerful. The GUI is still much the same, but there have been many useful features added in versions 7-9. The editor is more powerful, and provides many new formatting options, including a crude outlining (introduced in V8). It still lacks extended selection, which is annoying to me.

I have actually always liked the IS selector, what other programs refer to as the tree pane. My problem, just as it has been with most tree-based PIMs, is that the tree gets crowded and overwhelming awfully fast. I am hoping that the new context tabs will help to mitigate this problem in IS.

I assume that a preliminary release is just a fancy term for a release candidate beta. But who knows?
