I've used Action Outline (http://gpsoft.hypermart.net for structuring a couple of websites, and it is fairly decent program: small, fast and very simple to learn. It lets you easily export the outline to the clipboard or to a file in a variety of formats, including some rough html (it has nothing to do against Frontier, of course. It is around $40, it's not scriptable, and even has a freeware version).
I really don't know if it falls in the category of "pure outliner" (I've never seen those legendary mac outliners, as I work only on PC)
I've really liked the program, but I'm interested in evaluating a few other programs.
Has anyone compiled a list of outliners for Windows?
Thanks!

Gustavo,
On the Windows side, there was a product called GrandView, which was available from Symantec. It is no longer available. There was also a shareware product called PC-Outline, but I haven't seen it around either. Dave said that the products were written by the same guy, but in around 1988, when I was getting into outliners, I much preferred GrandView, I can't remember the reasons now. I still use GrandView, even though it is a DOS app. It's a great product, and one that I wish had been rewritten for Windows. I don't know of any outliners which are available commercially today.
