It's even worse than it appears.

Tree charts and outliners#
  • A "Tree Chart" in MORE, circa 1987. #
    • Organize the data in the outliner, flip a switch, see the graphic. #
    • Today you wouldn't have to do flip a switch, there's enough CPU power to automatically update the graphic view from the outline editor view as you made editing changes. #
    • I'd love to hook up Drummer to someone else's Tree Chart renderer. It would accept OPML as input, of course. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
