Good to finally find that I am not the only person that thinks this is
a remarkable program - and even after much searching can find no
suitable replacement. I came across v3. on a magazine cover disk back
in the mid-nineties and am still using it today (on Windows 7 running
under XP Mode).

I have never tried version 5.0 and would be very interested. The main
problem I have is that as this was a cover disk version it only came
with the rather minamilist Windows help files. My questions to the
group are is it possible to obtain a copy of 5.0 and also is it
possible to obtain a copy of the manual (for versions 3 and 5) and has
anyone come across anything that approaches the speed and flexibility
of Idealist?

Many thanks
Ken

It is possible to get hold version 5, but I'm not sure I would
recommend it. I haven't been able to install it successfully and
others who have succeeded have commented that it is less stable than
version 3. I can let you have a pdf of the v.3 manual, which one of
the other group members kindly scanned.

As for alternatives to Idealist, I have still to come across anything
that really satisfies. One possibility is ConnectedText, which is a
very powerful personal wiki.

Yours

Lawrence,

Many thanks for your response - have to say I am very happy with version 3 so will stick with that - I would be very grateful if you could send a PDF of the manual. In the meantime I will take a look at ConnectedText.

Again many thanks

Ken
