As noted, AskSam will export text. MyInfo has a plugin that specifically processes AskSam exports, including the custom fields using the square bracket notation. The plugin uses a configuration file to map AS fields into MI

The plugin info (a MyInfo topic) includes the following:

During import MyInfo is usually working with UTF-8 strings. The plugin, however, is configured for ASCII/ANSI strings as they are produced by askSam. In case you need an UTF-8 import plugin, please let me know.

While importing to MyInfo you can map any askSam field you have to MyInfo's attributes. This even works for multiline fields.>

The description also has a pointer to the author:

You will find me at the MyInfo forums (

http://www.milenix.com/forums), my user name is “mfelix”.
Simply open a new thread or send me a private message.>>

I used AS for many years (my earliest file is an import from DOS-based MemoryMate). I am sorry to leave it, but I share the point of view that without multiplatform and cloud capabilities, no outliner software can be adequate today.
