Info-Base is a extrem fast, effective and portable PIM (personal information manager) or a Freeform Database - an electronic "Zettelkasten" with (almost) unlimited capacity.

As can be easily seen, the project was inspired by the old Info-Select , which I used since DOS times (as "Tornado" and later as Info-Select 2.0 and then as version 1.0 for Windows).

Data from the old Info-Select can be imported. (IS 1.0 per stack: "Group", "Export to file" or in newer versions: Export as "Note Delimited", possibly in Info-Base customize the "file delimiter" !)

Elaborate formatting and design options are intentionally not even on established rules, there is only the bare necessities so that everyone customize the program to their individual needs easily - and can change again. Speed and efficiency are at the forefront.

The idea is that of a "spit list" (stack, stack) on the desktop. You put a note simply and quickly on top. But if it be a little more, the recovery is a problem. Also, the "index case" it solves only partially, because the list also must be ordered and then only under a keyword is found again.

And here are the strengths of Info-Base :

1. You don't need to worry too much about filing, at best you push (F11) a note to the appropriate stack and forget about it.
2. All you have to do is remember a word, a string, or something similar from the content, F3 or F4 brings the note immediately into the field of vision - even without typing the whole word ...

It is the ideal information program for "lazy people" who want to make only as many thoughts about the system as necessary. The program must be adapted to the user and it does not become a "slave" of a system! The chaotic user must quickly come to the same objectives as the systematic thinker...

Not all functions of the Info-Base (which are very many and partly also somewhat complicated !) are described here sufficiently exactly, so that it is very advisable to try them out thoroughly with creative imagination - best in a "test version" away from the "hot data" or in temporary stacks into which you can copy the "hot data" quickly with F10 (group).
Functions that were intended for a completely different purpose can often be used for specific wishes.
