MORE is an outline processor application that was created for the Macintosh in 1986 by software developer Dave Winer[1] and that was not ported to any other platforms. An earlier outliner, ThinkTank, was developed by Winer,[1] his brother Peter, and Doug Baron[3] for Apple II, Apple III, IBM PC compatiblesl[4] then ported by Peter to the Macintosh.[5]

MORE was the result of combining three planned products into one expanding around the outliner, and described by its author as an outline processor.[5] In MORE, the outlines could be formatted with different layouts, colors, and shapes. Outline "nodes" could include pictures and graphics.

The company that made these products, Living Videotext, merged with Symantec in July 1987.[3][6] Around July 1999, with Symantec's permission, Mr. Winer released versions of the ThinkTank and MORE products on a Web site for free download.[2]
