Why need more than a console?


FreeDoc (fd) is a small console based utility between a mind-mapping-program and a modular-plain-text-documentation-software.

FreeDoc shows cells (textfiles which are editable by your favorite text editor) of definable size in a hierarchical structure.
Structure and textfiles could be printed out to files. Different formats (i.e. graphical map, some ascii formats and html-lists) are possible.
Thus FreeDoc is a simple but valuable application to arrange ideas and conceptions up to a (full and unlimited) text documentation.

Feel free to improve this program under the conditions of the general GNU-license-agreement.

PS: Get some further help by pressing "h" after starting the program and take a look at the attached example.
PPS: To make some text-graphics I can recommend my console based drawing program TextDraw (http://web.uta4you.at/shop/td/index.htm).
PPPS: Compile fd.c with: gcc -Wall -s -O3 fd.c -lncurses
