I’ve kept my copy of Agenda 2 alive over many years and many machines. I’m still using it to build up a catalogue of tapes and CDs and look at different cross-classified Views, e.g. by Artist, by Instrument, by Scale (Raga), etc. – it’s amazing to see the program make text matches automatically and update its Views. I tried to do it in Access – gave up as it would require much manual processing. With text search engines so common, why can’t they give a basic filing-by-caytegory capability to RDBMs?

I have a copy of Agenda 2.0 (HP111 driver)which I could put onto CD. Please does any one know of a version of Agenda designed to run under Windows XP? The display on mine with XP is a mystery. It starts in a small window but after print preview goes to full screen. How can I get it to start up in full screen?

My name is Lucy and I live in Salvador, Bahia, Brasil.
I am looking for users of the Agenda Lotus 2.0 – working with DOS – as I have lost mine during a “crack” in my computer. I would like to get it, as soon as possible, in order to permit using the files that I have in CD’s with info for more of ten years of use.

I used Lotus Agenda up until about 5 yrs ago when a file became corrupted and it wouldn’t run any more. Does anybody know
a)how I can get a copy of Agenda, and
b)how to run it in XP?
I miss it very much. Nothing else works as well.
PS I am in the UK

I’ve used Lotus Agenda on a HP 720 Jornada handheld for some time (using the PocketDOS emulator). However, the real challenge was to try and get President’s Planner to run. I contacted PocketDOS tech support and Alex Todd of PP, but the speed limit of PocketDOS couldn’t handle the demands of PP. It would have made a fanatastic combination on a handheld.

I’ve always been a big Agenda fan; one reason I used an HP 100LX PDA is because it would run Agenda. But I left the LX behind, because I wanted a smaller, more modern PDA with backlighting and the ability to do record-level sync with my desktop.
I’m now struggling along with Outlook and a PocketPC; not bad, but nowhere near as powerful as Agenda.
I’m anxiously awaiting the release of Chandler; it looks like the information organizer I’ve been waiting for. I wonder who’ll do a PDA port?

I am a lawyer. I have been using Lotus Agenda from 1990. Started with version 2. The program has been extremely useful. Though the initial learning period was quite difficult, once we understand how it works it became very easy.
I am yet to find a program that has its capability. Hope Chandler will improve on it.

I was one of the developers for Agenda (worked on the views, import/export, macros, and touched just about everything else at one time or another).
Of all the software projects I ever worked, none were as interesting or fun as Agenda. I used it all the time to organize my programming tasks while working on it and really miss not having it now.
I am interested in what is happening with Chandler, but if that doesn’t fly, might be a good open source retirment project for me (though you will still have to wait a couple of decades for that 🙂 )

Although only vaugely referenced in the above article, PersonalBrain from TheBrain Technologies is actually very successful product and has converted many former Agenda and Ecco Pro users. It is called TheBrain because it lets you create the types of links you think are most relevant. Try it yourself for free and see at http://www.thebrain.com TheBrain enables you to organize all information the way you want - not just in multiple folders, but in a visual associative network of connections.
