IdeaBook is public domain (Remember: IdeaList is Shareware!).
It  may be copied and used by everyone. The condition is to copy the COMPLETE
and  UNCHANGED contents of the folder IDEABOOK.

These are the files:
  IDEABOOK.PRG
  IDEABOOK.RSC
  IDEABOOK.TXT

IdeaBook  is  a  tool in addition to IdeaList, that can be launched as a kind
of module but also runs as "stand alone".

IdeaBook  imports  textfiles and sorts it in a way page by page, IdeaList can
print in a book-like order. Also it adds head-lines and foot-lines.

If  launched  by  IdeaList,  IdeaBook  gets  its important parameters handled
over.  In  this  case  you  only  have  to set the head-line and footline (if
wished) and the mode of sorting.

If  started manually you have to set the two sliders in the same way IdeaList
shows in the info line of the parameter's window.

The  options  of  the  head-line  and  foot-line  are  quite  similar  to the
corresponding dialogs in IdeaList.

There are two modes of sorting the pages:
- "Sheet"  means  that every sheet (containing tow pages at the front and two
pages at the back) is folded midwise and stacked one above another.
- "Booklet" means that the folded sheets are put one in another.

Of  course  IdeaBook  dos not overwrite the source file but creates a new one
for  the  formatted output. Either a file with the source file's name but the
extension BOK; or SCRAP.TXT at the system clipboard.

If  wished  IdeaBooks  ignores  formfeed  markers.  Otherwise  a  new page is
started every time a formfeed character occurs.

 You  can abort the work by klicking the window closer button or the selected
"Start"  button.  IdeaBook  completely  works  in the background and does not
block other processes.
