In case you missed it in the Zoot forum, Tom Davis said that Zoot 6.0 is “tantalizingly close,” but he still has about three to four weeks work on it.

Jan,
Tom has revealed some of the new features of Zoot 6.0 in various posts. Here is what I’ve been able to glean (quoting Tom):
[begin quote]
In Zoot 6 you can capture an entire web page or any portion of the web page and Zoot will store it in any one of the following formats:
* Pure HTML (Zoot displays clip in built-in browser)
* Web Archive / MHTML (Zoot displays clip in built-in browser)
* RTF (Zoot converts the HTML to RTF and displays in RTF editor)
You?ll also have the same options to create Web Archives as files on disk (as you can now in z5).
If you save a clip in HTML/MHTML you can always convert it to RTF or plain text later with the click of a button.
All limitations will be lifted in z6, including length of the subject line, document size, # of folders, # of items, # of folder assignments per item, etc.
Z6 will also do e-mail POP/SMTP.
The browser lets you browse and also acts as a file viewer. With File Links, for example, if it?s a file link to a file type that can be displayed in the browser, you?ll see the document, with the option to not see it and have an RTF document to work with, which can be a form with fields. It?s really quite nifty.
[end quote]
And Tom added one more item in his recent post: the ability to create a special Zoot gmail account, to which you can e-mail stuff to yourself and have it automatically imported into Zoot.
All in all, it sounds as if all a Zooters dreams come true.

At last Zoot has what I could have made very good use of before I retired. Regrettably, Zoot 3 and 4 did not.

Steve, sounds very exciting. I’d upgrade for that. 2 questions:
Will user be able to easily edit MHT or HTML docs or will user have to convert to RTF to do that, thinking about images implanted in web captures, etc.
Do you know if Tom is considering / working on a calendar module?
Looks like I’m going to have to pay attention to Zoot as an end-all possibility again. Thanks.
