What you saw was a shareware product called "Instant Recall."  This program
was purchased by Broderbund Software, upgraded, and renamed "Memory Mate."

Subsequently a commercial PIM called "Instant Recall" was brought out by
another company.  This "IR" is not in any way related to the shareware
product.  I tried it, but it conflicted with so many things I returned it
for a refund :-(

Memory Mate takes about 90K of RAM in resident mode. (!!)  Commercial IR
takes 32K.  Commercial IR has an integrated phone dialer which is a nice
touch.

I currently use Memory Mate, with Sidekick's dialer on top of it.  If you
can find Instant on ftp someplace, I think you'll like it.  You can convert
the database file to Memory Mate if you upgrade.
