Quotes of the month ------------------- I'm a newbie to Leo(a couple of weeks) and I feel addicted to programming again...in fact it has resurrected a dead project of mine :) The outline has proven most liberating in terms of testing ideas out. Thanks a lot! -- anon "Wow, wow, and wow. I just started using Leo about a month ago..Now I finally understand how to use clones and I realized that this is exactly how I want to organize my information. Multiple views on my data, fully interlinkable just like my thoughts...Thanks for a great tool! -- anon "I *LIKE* it; I was amazed at how [different the Leo] experience was compared to flat-filing. It was almost Forth-like in the way that it was possible to work top-down or bottom-up at will (I believe this is the key to its strength, btw)." --Tarvin Rhodes What is Leo? ------------ - A programmer's editor, an outlining editor and a flexible browser. - A literate programming tool, compatible with noweb and CWEB. - A data organizer and project manager.
