I'm looking for a program that can handle all normal text type files and can create and use the otl format. OTL file is - NoteTab Outline. These files look very much like ms help, or bookmark files. I'll try and attach a screen shot of an open otl file in the notetab program. There is a free version called Notetab lite, but I am using the full non-free version 7.2.
I tried to setup and run this program in Wine, but it doesn't work all that well and the windows are very small and hard to see / read. I'm no expert when it comes to using wine, so it could certainly be my fault. Would love to hear from others who have Notetab working in/on Linux.
Your distro probably already includes vim; almost all of them do. The released version of vim on my Slackware machine is v. 7.4. Whether this can be made to work with the current vim release or is somehow locked into vim v. 6 would need to be established.
I'll check out vim and see if I can get it working.
I think I played around with it (vim) in the past, but
never really got used to it. We'll see how it goes.
Thank You all for the help. I'll try Vim and also try installing 7.2 with wine.
I've printed out the wine codes you used Habitual, so hopefully it will work ok and won't be to small on my screen.
I have a password program that is also window's program. It has registration keys, logins, notes and etc. I would be lost without it. It is so small in Linux, it is "almost" unusable. It is called password keeper 2000 and I've been using it for a very long time. Someday, I will finally take the time to clean up the database, and move to a Linux password program. Anyway, that is another story.
Re passwords: I can recommend keepass (MSWin) & keepassX (Linux).
Same tool so you only have to learn one.
In fact its been ported to many platforms http://keepass.info/download.html

A firefox addon called LastPass has an import option for password keeper 2000.
I guess LastPass just needs an PK2000 export file to do the job.
I clicked Instructions on that menu and got this text:
To import your Password Keeper logins, open the program, and the password file to be exported. Click File - Export File. Click Yes, enter your password, and click OK. This opens a standard Windows Save dialog, so enter a file name and location. Import the resulting file.
Some folks are all upset that lastpass recently sold (out?) to LogMeIn.
I am not one of those.

I had no idea that FF and Lastpass had this (addon) import option. I'm going to look it over. Thanks .. Habitual.
