MORE (application)
MORE is an outline processor application that was created for the Macintosh in 1986 by software developer Dave Winer[1] and that was not ported to any other platforms. An earlier outliner, ThinkTank, was developed by Winer,[1] his brother Peter, and Doug Baron.[3] The outlines could be formatted with different layouts, colors, and shapes. Outline "nodes" could include pictures and graphics.
