Nice to be back; I missed the discussion. Thanks to anybody who helped in sorting out whatever it was that kept the forum off the visible universe.

Question; has anyone ever tried B-Liner?
http://www.bliner.com/

I came across it just a couple of weeks ago and am confident that I have found a tool covering most of what I've been looking for to support me in project management. B-liner is a hierarchical organising tool with a difference; each node may have a simple spreadsheet ("grid") based on a pre-selected template. Grid values are hierarchically linked, making it a piece of cake to construct budget breakdowns etc. Hierarchies can be shown vertically or horizontally; the web publishing features are very good and one may also export to XML.

Altogether a very capable tool which I think is worth a try by (at least) anyone who likes MyInfo columns. Registration costs $149.

Alex,

I stopped looking at it after clicking on buy--the only way to discover the price these days. $150 for what seemed like a simple diagrammer seemed a bit much, but I simply missed the features you mentioned.

So, I don't know if it's comparable, but here's another that features templates to structure information (optionally) in a tree diagram: IdeasPad (http://www.mindwarp-consultancy-software.com/ideaspad-shareware-download.html

Hi There,

I'm the author of Ideaspad.

I'm interested to know how you would like the XML to work?

Best regards,
