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.
