- Folding editors, under the name of outliners, have been around a while.
- I used one called Kamas under CP/M, and still use it under MSDOS. They
- are invaluable for structuring large quantities of complex information,
- and if you need one, you need one bad, but I've never liked them for
- programming (tho' I tried an early version of origami under Minix).
