To Don (and others who have already migrated or are considering migrating to Leo from ECCO Pro):
ECCO Pro was a terrific program back in the '90s that allowed for multiple views of the same data in an outline-centric display with most of the capabilities of a PIM. Unfortunately, the developers abandoned it. There was some expectation that the code would be released as open source, but that never happened. Even today, it's still a remarkable program. I started experimenting with different replacement programs and finally settled on Leo. Except for the lack of a calendar, it does everything I used ECCO for and MUCH more (I still wish there was a way to integrate a calendar view, but that will have to be another topic I suppose). I have found that one major difference between how I used ECCO and how I use Leo is that I now keep information in separate files (mostly plain text) instead of inside the ...eco file. That allows me to use Leo for so much more than I ever could do with ECCO, like write LaTex documents, HTML pages and CSS files. I'm probably the wrong person to offer any suggestions to others on how to migrate from ECCO to Leo as that would depend on the particular use case and the specific needs and expectations. However, I'd be happy to answer any questions if I'm able, though. Post in this thread or contact me directly.
