There is another program with columns called MyInfo. I think the URL is http://www.milenix.com. The issue with MyInfo is that it falls more into the category I call hierarchical free-form databases. That is, it allows you to store information in a tree-structured format—there are a zillion programs like this (Treepad, Jot+, MyBase, etc.). I believe that MyInfo is the only one of these programs with the columns feature. When you get into the true outlining programs (NoteMap, PC Outline[yuck!], tkoutliner, MaxThink), none of these applications feature columns. So, Steve Cohen is right when he says we’re still looking and waiting.

Actually, now that I think of it, you can still get hold of an old copy of Ecco, which is an outlining program with columns. This was another great program that was bought from one developer and then discountinued. You can download this program free at this site:

Just be aware of the fact that this program is no longer supported by its company and hasn’t been revised since 1997.
