>whereas, with the more traditional hierarchical free-form database (i.e. InfoSelect, even UltraRecall), I feel swamped when the outline becomes full, since the primary categorization method is topics and subtopics. Screen real-estate gets chewed up quickly with those programs, while programs like Zoot, or, I suppose, InfoHandler, in which your information is in more of a flat file, are much easier for my feeble mind to deal with. So extraneous information is not an issue.—Steve Zeoli

This is the problem that sycon tries to avoid in Idea! allowing multiple records associated with a given tree node. As others have noted recently, Idea! seems better suited for very large database than UR.
