Do you know PC-Outline/Brown Bag Software?

[Howard Price]

I'm still using a great old dos outliner, PC-Outline, from Brown Bag
Software. I'd like to check with the author, but have no name in the
manual or program, and old phone numbers don't work.
Any ideas?

[Mark Stotzer]

Have you tried a Web Search for the author or program name?

Hi Howard - I just started up my old Toshiba 1600 and it runs brownbag software security for User Name & Password (which after over 20 years being laid up, I have completely forgotten).
Do you know a way to get past it??

Howard's post is from 1997 so he's probably not still around to read it.
However, I assume you could just boot the laptop from a floppy disk, edit
AUTOEXEC.BAT and remove references to whatever starts up the security
system. A quick Google suggests it might be Brown Bag Power Menu but the
company seems to have disappeared in the early 90s with this lawsuit:

John Friend was the author of Grandview, which apparently was based on PC Outliner. Alas Grandview is not available for Windows and has been abandoned. Too bad.
