BRAINSTORM is a new approach to group problem solving.  It facilitates  
group discussions on a network by allowing users to respond to any      
number of organized "topics," instead of individual people.             
                                                                        
Most E-Mail packages which come with a network allow user "A" to send a 
message to user "B," and perhaps send a carbon copy to users "C," "D"   
and "E."  While this type of message management is ideal for individual 
communication, it falls short when the goal is to gather feedback from a
group while keeping everyone abreast of the project status.             
                                                                        
BRAINSTORM is not "user" structured, but rather "topic" structured.     
Messages and replies do not even include a reference to whom the message
is addressed.  The focal point of a BRAINSTORM message is the "topic."  
Any user can then go to a topic and read what others have written       
there.  BRAINSTORM keeps track of what a user has already read,         
and what's new to read.                                                 
                                                                        
Brainstorm is not meant to be a replacement to your existing E-Mail     
package, but rather as a supplemental program to structure communication
between your network users.  It is network-compatible with Novell 2.0a  
and above, Banyan Vines 2.x or above, or any network which supports     
DOS 3.x file and record locking or the Share command.
