In preparation for Frontier 5, a survey question about UCMDs.

Major revision: Matt Neuburg's Web Scripting Tutorial. He says: "Many errors corrected and explanations improved; lots of new tricks and tips; expanded discussions of macros and renderer writing; and an entire new chapter which traces the whole process of rendering a page from start to finish. Intended to be the court of first resort for those learning Frontier for its Web site management capabilities."

Microsoft: Windows Host Scripting.

In the 80s dot-head format was how we exchanged info among Living Videotext's outliners. You could, for example, render a Ready outline as a graphic MORE tree chart. As we approach the first alpha release of Frontier 5.0, we make it possible for Frontier's outliner to be a Ready-like outliner for Mac and PC users. Of course, being part of Frontier, it's scriptable. The first step is to make it possible for Frontier to read dot-head files. You'll find the code and more info on the fat pages site.

Jon Stevens has a 1-2-3 Functions Outline in a web page. What a long and winding road!

BrowserWatch: New version of Visual JavaScript from Netscape.

From MacroMedia, 5 Flash 2 sites: 1 2 3 4 5.

A quick tour of Frontier's outline-based script and menu editor.

Frontier's outliner is scriptable and has 34 built-in verbs.

Written in 1988: Outliners & Programming.

Great essay! Against Software Determinism.
