Thanks; I found it my overzealous spam box!

Webroot antispyware gave me a stong warning for the site, but all seems to be OK.
I wonder if any of these index card programmes also fall into the Zettelkasten software category http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/5298/0/zettelkasten-software
I understand that most are oriented to brainstorming/structuring/writing but if ‘ideas’ notes can include ‘facts’ then the Zettelkasten paradigm is just a sideways step.

The proof of that would be how they would handle thousands of index cards. It seems to me that most of these index card software focus on dealing with a single writing project, so they are more like the equivalent of a physical corkboard or a large table (or a small box) with a manageable number of cards.
Zettelkasten software in contrast would be like the equivalent of a massive filing cabinet full of thousands of index cards.

... with an accompanying library catalogue system (I should have added).
