Wonder if there is a program that implements everything that PC Outline does, but for Amiga? By the way, PCOutline does run under the Transformer, but I'd rather be using a native mode product. Almost tempted to do it myself for Amiga, but not sure if there'd be a large nuff demand. For those not familiar with it, PCOutline is a "ThinkTank" or "More" kinda product (those are "M*C" programs). The I*M version of PCOutline is from Brown Bag products and is available from their BBS for a free tryout. You'd have to look them up, I don't use the BBS so I dont know where it is. The demo versions available on various $2.99 PD collection disks is crippled -- yes everything works, but once a file gets larger than 20K, it literally locks up the machine. (This is the version from about 3 years ago, maybe it is not floating around any more but...) Anyhow, my only problem with the PD version was that there was no WARNING that the limitation was there (I coulda lived with that, and kept my "sample" outlines small, instead of losing lots-a-work). BUT, just wanted to test the waters, so to speak. Is anyone using an outliner product (sorta a word processor that lets you hide or view any selected subsets of what you are writing, depending on "levels", and has lots of options of how the material gets subsetted and labeled). It REALLY helps when writing a manual. Please respond via email; I will summarize to the net if interesting responses. { ...uunet!ardent!rap } Rob Peck
