1. If you visit the Jot Plus Web site ( http://www.kingstairs.com ) you may see a link that, if opened, says the Web site is about to disappear. [One time I saw the link, the second time I didn’t.]
2. The download link for Jot Plus 3.7.0 RC1 and for Jot Plus 3.7 Beta yield the same Beta file.
3. If you’re a Jot Plus User and want to have the latest stable version, 3.6, better get it now.
4. You can export Jot Plus files to a number of different formats, such as .rtf, using
“File/Save Copy As.” (It can take a while to process.)
Unfortunately, in the .rtf conversion at least, one gets a flat file with no indentations. The
tree topics are bolded, but that’s about it as far as organization goes.
It looks like I’ll be doing a lot of pasting into Inspiration for the files I update most.

Oops! The link to the warning site is “truth be told” on the right side of kingstairs.com, below the release listings.

As far as I understand, the Godaddy expiration notice refers to the domain http://truthbetold2011.org/ not kingstairs.com

Alexander, I think you’re correct. However, I still believe Jot Plus is moribund. Over a year ago, i contacted the developer, Michael Marshall, about the suspension of Jot Plus development. He told me that he was doing work for other firms and didn’t know when, if ever, he’d get back to Jot Plus. Also the beta and RC1 versions (which are identical) are at least a couple of years old.
He may just be keeping the kingstairs.com site open for current users and to sell a few more copies. The site hasn’t changed in a loooong time.

Moribund should be the name of the next “it” PIM. It will be developed. We will be excited by it. We’ll be the only ones who buy it and in six years the developer will realize that he can’t make money off of CRIMPers alone and he’ll let the thing fossilize until one day one of us will check in on the web site only to find that moribund.com is the new home page for Kim Kardashian. At least that’s been the pattern (except for the last part) for too many of the applications we’ve discussed here over the years.
