1864.0. "Organizer tool available." by XANADU::BERRY (sleep is for parents that eat quiche) Thu Dec 07 1989 15:19

This is to announce the EasyNet release of Organizer.

Organizer is a essentially a hierarchy editor. It is a DECwindows tool, and it
displays a hierarchical list of objects, in the SVN fashion. It permits the
usual hierarchy editing on the objects, like expand and contract. Each object
can have different attributes, and the attributes are presented in different
columns. It supports direct entries, the user can add new objects, or edit any
attribute on existing objects. 

The typical use is as a todo list, or an issue list. It supports creating data
types, so the user can customoze it for his own use.

Organizer is a midnight project. It came from looking at display paradigms, and
work to define a GHOST (Graphical Hierachical Outline and Spreadsheet Tool)
widget. The tool illustrates the capabilities such a widget could have.

If this looks interesting enough, you can find kit and documentation (yes, we
even have documentation) in :

If you are interested in the future of the tool, and would like to be on the
distribution list, send me mail at XANADU::BERRY.

Enjoy,

    Hi JP,
    	  Any chance of an ULTRIX version soon?

    yep.
    
    As soon as I can get access to an Ultrix workstation (with DECwindows
    on it). :-)
