MORE (application)
MORE is an outline processor application created for the Apple Macintosh in 1986 by software developer Dave Winer and was never adapted for non-mac. An earlier outliner, ThinkTank, was developed by Winer, his brother Peter and Doug Baron.[1] MORE was brilliant at helping to organize ideas. The outline, itself, could be adapted/formatted to meet individual needs, including different layouts, colors, shapes. Outline "nodes" could include pictures/graphics. It was perfect for genealogy buffs.
The company that made these products, Living Videotext, merged with Symantec in September 1987.[1] With Symantec's permission, Mr. Winer has since released versions of these “antique” software packages on the web for free download.[2] Functions in these outliners include:
- Appending notes, comments, rough drafts of sentences and paragraphs under some topics
- Assembling various low-level topics and creating a new topic to group them under
- Deleting duplicate topics
- Demoting a topic to become a subtopic under some other topic
- Disassembling a grouping that does not work, parceling its subtopics out among various other topics
- Dividing one topic into its component subtopics
- Dragging to rearrange the order of topics
- Making a hierarchical list of topics
- Merging related topics
- Promoting a subtopic to the level of a topic
