I'm a longtime outliner software user from the DOS days. One of the last outliner software packages I used was Grandview 2.0 by Symantec [1].
Amazingly, just a few months ago I discovered that it has been resurrected to run in Windows using vDOS; there is a package that automates the entire deployment process[2]. I've started using Grandview 2.0 again on Win 7 using this package (which BTW includes a OCR'd scan of the very extensive User manual). It works flawlessly. Unfortunately, data exchange into "modern" formats is challenging (and you're left with a screen no larger than 80x50), so I've not been able to use it as much as I would like. I wish there were a modern incarnation of this or similar software, but it seems DOS software is largely viewed as a dead-end not worth emulating in this era of GUI's.
P.S. I've tried MS Word's outline mode and find it wholly unsatisfactory.
P.P.S. my favorite outliner software was Borland's Sidekick Plus (for DOS).
