Every once in a while when I get an itch to look for a new outliner I fondly think back on my time (in the early 90's I think?) with Wordperfect/Novel/Corel's "Infocentral."
I was mainly using Ecco at the time if I recall, but I remember that Infocentral presented information in an outline but that the links/relationships between items were themselves "objects" ( can't recall the name Infocentral uses for those) and it was very easy to click on those nodes and access different relationship items.
I was surprised to search the forum here and not find Infocentral referenced. (Maybe I missed it.)
Does anyone else remember Infocentral and perhaps have any comment on its workflow and how to duplicate it in a modern program?
