Can we talk about Info Select?

I have two concerns: the software, and the forum. The forum - http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/InfoSelect/ - was last posted to on 23 July, 2012. Many discussions were about leaving for Evernote. I applied/registered, as one must do so in order to be accepted by the list owner. However, it has been several days, and I have heard nothing. So: is there another Info Select group, preferably one with living members?

I had IS 3, a long time ago, and loved it. (I still have the disk.) I now need IS again for organizational purposes. I will probably only need the basic features, with which to create, save, and organize, zillions of pieces of information and data. IS 10 has bad reviews from users, so no thanks. This brings question #2: what is the oldest version of IS which can be run on Windows 7 64-bit? Officially, IS 2007 – which I take it is version 9 – can run on it, but “full functionality is not guaranteed.” OK, I’m sure I could live with that. So, is there anything earlier which will run on that OS?

And finally, if there is any competing software which has a tree structure and search structure exactly (or nearly) the same as IS? I know there are all kinds of organizers, outliners, and PIMs, but I don’t know them. If IS’s tree and search features are duplicated by another software, I will take a look. Otherwise, I will probably live with the oldest version of IS which will run on my laptop OS.

Thanks very much to anyone who can address any of my questions.
