There have been several articles posted about a version of PC-Outline
which asks that registration be sent to Brown Bag instead of Softworks
Development. The fact is that Brown Bag did legally buy PC-Outline from
Softworks for resale. If you send money to Softworks (I did) it will
go to Brown Bag and any response you receive (the printed manual) will
come from Brown Bag. When I did this (Fall 1986) the response included
a request for additional money ("We raised the price", they said.) and
made it plain that they intended to stop shareware distribution and
institute copy protection on the product. Either they have since changed
their minds on this, or someone else is posting it as shareware with
Brown Bag's address on it. It's a shame about Softworks abandoning
the Shareware concept, but PC-Outline (or Outline!) is a great
product no matter how you get it.
