I suspect you’re thinking of InfoHandler from MDE software. (http://www.mdesoft.com)

I think you’re right.
I did not consider IS because I do not have confidence in the future direction it is taking, and have not had the time to learn how to use the new version as I had pledged to Manfred I would.
The older version might be ok but I don’t know if it work on a stick.

From those that I at least tried, or used, I’d go with Ultrarecall, if my needs included the search capability.
With exception of PDF, in the past I have found that UR had problems with indexing PDF, it would only index a part of many PDF files I had, and I’m not sure they fixed this (most probably not).
If I was more afer categorization, and had a powerful search program like Archivarius, I’d seriusly consider MyInfo, and I’d only store links to those documents in MI, and use MI for writing and categorization, and Archivarius for searching. I tend to like the tags functionality in MI much more than tags in UR, and generally Mi is better in visual terms than UR (eg. it allows you to use text formatting on article titles, a biggie for me.) MI probably has a slightly better editor.
UR has better web clipping than MI, but you can’t edit those webclips in UR directly.

To speak of future Zoot capabilities is like speaking of the forthcoming Ice Age.

Thomas, thanks.
Of course, one can link web files to MI, and it gets around that problem.
I like MI’s tagging better.
I do not like its lack of hoisting.
And re Archivarius, which I heard of for the first time several days ago, why is it better than, say X1, who soon want me to pay for my demo program?
Thanks.
