Further to this post. PC Outline is still alive and kicking on my computer every day.
(1) There is a full manual in PDF and I will share it with anyone that requests it.
(2) The program runs great in DOS Box!
(3) The printer drivers are obsolete, but you can get around this by sending your outline to a text file and then opening it in Word.

Software is ephemeral. I hope somebody is still using the software I wrote in 30 years time! Some environmental modelling software I helped to write back in the 90s still seems to be going ( https://www.quintessa.org/software/AMBER/index.html ). I’m not sure there will be much of my code left in it by now though.

Here it is, six years after I first posted about PC Outline in 2013. I’m still using PC Outline every day, and still loving it. (My all-time favorite program!) As previously reported, I am willing to share a full copy of the software, and PDF of the online and printed manuals, as well as help anyone having technical issues. I still run PCO through DosBox, and send all files to a TXT file to be edited/printed in Word. Also, be sure to turn OFF the Auto Save feature. This will prevent your files from being corrupted. Ever since I did that, I have NEVER had a file go south on me since. I’d love to speak with the author or other PC Outline fanatics.

Jim, that’s a generous offer. I no longer have an active Windows machine, but I do have one running Linux. DOSBOX should work. Where does one find the PC-Outline file these days?

I found and downloaded PCOutline here: https://www.pcorner.com/list/WORDP/PCO334.ZIP/INFO/. The file is pco334.zip.
PCOutline was my favorite outliner/PIM until I found eccopro.
Prior to PCOutline I used Kamas which I also found at the same website under the category WORDP. The file is kamas25.zip.
