MORE is an outline processor application that was created for the Apple 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.
The company that made these products, Living Videotext, merged with Symantec in July 1987.[3][4] Around July 1999, with Symantec's permission, Mr. Winer released versions of the ThinkTank and MORE products on a Web site for free download.[2]
