Hi all,

Not an outliner but may be of interest to some members of this group. TheBrain have just released a private beta of PB4. The major addition is the ability to export to HTML (& XML), including an animated version which mimics those cool graphics. I’ve used it on an off for a few years but always stayed clear of it for major work because I hated the idea of my info being locked away with no export features available. The following is a list of new features taken from a post on the Yahoo Group:
