| IDEATREE.ZIP | Yes | 329479 | 4/4/1994 | Idea Tree is a non-resident thought processor or outliner that uses a tree or "organization chart" type of approach rather than the usual "outline" look. Personally, we think that the standard outline approach is more compact and easier to grasp at a glance, but Idea Tree is easy to use and has a very professional look to it.

| KAMAS.ZIP | Yes | 117705 | 4/4/1994 | Kamas is an outline processor. Kamasoft claims to have originated the genre in 1984. Our highly subjective opinion is that Kamas is a hair less intuitive, less slick and less powerful than other outliners we have seen, such as PC-Outline. On the other hand, it costs about 10 times less and does do a reasonable job for a low-end outliner. As best as we were able to determine from the limited documentation, it will not function as a TSR (pop-up), but with the growing popularity of task switching programs such as SwapDOS and DESQview, any program can be made into a "pop-up" whether it was written that way or not. (Kamasoft) (Reg.Fee: $39) |
