As a recent Mac user but long-time MSDOS user, I'm looking for
some Mac software that is the functional equivalent of a couple of
things I've found extremely handy in the DOS world.
First, outliners. On DOS machines I use PC-Outline,
memory-resident, flexible, etc. Could some users of various Mac
outliners comment on their preferences?
Then, freeform databases. In DOS two that work well are
Tornado Notes, which allows you to pump data in without defining
fields or records and retrieve it via keywords; also, Instant Recall,
which has a much different interface (DOS, remember) but does much the
same sorts of things. What for the Mac performs the same functions?
Post or mail as you see fit.
Thanks.
Tom Maddox
