Hi, all,

I just stumbled across this somewhat new tree-based free form database. It’s called PowerOutlines. It is from the developer of the odd, but interesting Insight.

http://www.dataomega.com/PowerOutlines/index.htm

Basically, PowerOutlines manages plain text files. It has a lot of tools for managing text, and a few nice features, such as the ability to add check boxes to the items in the tree. You can also open several “catalogs” (the developer’s term for a database), which are each accessible through tabs. Searches can be made on all open catalogs.

This is not an endorsement of this application, just a note to fellow CRIMPers who feel the need to take a look at all the options. Nevertheless it does appear to be a nice piece of software, thoughtfully developed for its intended, but limited purpose.
