A Free Form Information Manager closely integrated with e-mail and the Internet. Information is stored in a user defined Note which can contain any data of any size including one or more URL's and e-mail addresses. URL's and e-mail addresses are recognized wherever they appear in Notes and are used to form hot links (click on the link to load the URL into the browser) to either Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. In addition, Amigo! can capture data from the active browser page with a single keystroke and import of existing bookmarks is supported. A Windows 95 Explorer style interface is used to organize information. 'Drag drop' and 'full text search' operations are supported. A Note, a folder of Notes, or an entire File of Notes may be easily exchanged between Amigo! users. The entire structure of the File and Folders is preserved for the interchange.
