I was a die-hard user of Attain's InControl, the older the version the better.
After perusing all of the latest outliners, including MS Word's outliner, nothing had features which I enjoyed in InControl:
- Multiple resizable columns (each definable as a drop down, date or free form text.)
- Each text field had a default type style, but was changable
- A few filters and search capabilities
Anyone know of any new products which provide the same functionality? I'd glady pay big bucks for a Windows version of InControl 1.0 or 2.0, as it was so helpful.

I would appreciate your advice about the advantages of InControl 1.0 or 2.0 over 4.0?

I have been using INControl for a year and love it!
I have 3.04 and have read that there are later versions, but I cannot find them anywhere to download.
Any clues?
thank you,
Shelley

Matthew,
I'm new to this group, so if you have already discussed Zoot software, I apologize. But Zoot may be what you are looking for. The builder calls it a personal information processor. It's great for sucking information from the web or other sources, classifying and organizing it. It also features columns. I am not familiar with InControl, so can only guess if Zoot even comes close to it, but you can see for yourself at the Zoot web site: www.zootsoftware.com

For Mac OS X users, the new OmniOutliner 2 supports multiple columns. Version 1 did as well, but they were more of a nuisance than helpful. Version 2 has a few column data types (duration, date, plain and rich text, checkbox (separate from the main checkbox on the outline column), number, and pop-up list), and it has let me bring my old DOING/DONE! outline back to life in the most useful way yet (tracking when tasks are due, and then how long it took to do them).
If two outlines have a similar structure (ie - item and due date), dragging and dropping parts of one outline to the other maintain the column data.
Now if only I could find my key for BrainForest and rescue all my old outlines...
