This is sort of like asking “name all the places you can drive to using a car”. Pretty well anywhere! All my new projects begin with a MORE outline, be it a scientific manuscript, grant proposal, lecture, experiment design, software project, trip to the supermarket, vacation excursion, you name it.
MORE fills the niche between a “flat” word processor and an overly structured database. I wish it hadn’t been abandoned, and I upgrade each new version of the MacOS with great trepidation fearing that MORE will finally break (amazing that it runs almost bug free for 8 years since 3.1 without an upgrade). My hope would be that some vendor would take it on and simply maintain its compatibility with future OS releases; MORE really doesn’t need any more bells and whistles (I would like to see a hot link to other docs that would launch the doc/app when clicking on the filename in an outline though, like Word 98 has).
I’m sure many others feel this way too about a truly excellent and ubiquitous application. Maybe we could talk Symantec into maintenance releases?
