Dave, I don’t know how you managed to get Symantec to allow this, but thanks.

I tried upgrading my version of MORE 3.0 about a week after they pulled it and they wouldn’t sell me a copy. Years later, I was looking again and stumbled across this site and have been here a few times since then.

I first came across MORE 1.0 when trying to figure out how to create the division brackets for a massive basketball tournament. I created the data entry forms in Hypercard, then split up the teams by age (I think there were 40 brackets with 16, or 32 teams in each bracket.) Then I wrote the brackets out to the MORE file format, which I reverse engineered. Essentially, I wrote out the file header (which I copied from a blankfile,) then wrote out eat team as a list element, then wrote out the foot (again, copied from a blank file.) I opened up the files went to tree view and printed them out. It was a bit more complicated than that, but you get the gist. Anyway, it worked like a charm and have been using MORE on and off ever since. Good to see its still around, and still works in Classic.
