FreeMind : About
FreeMind is a mind mapping tool written in Java and published under GPL. FreeMind can be used to take notes, build a knowledge base or keep track of projects.
Thierry Uso has ported FreeMind 0.8.1 on OpenVMS. Porting means testing all the functions, writing a startup procedure and creating a PCSI kit.
FreeMind for OpenVMS needs Java 1.4-2 or later and must be installed on an ODS5 volume; the SYS$LOGIN directory of the user starting FreeMind must also be on an ODS5 volume. FreeMind has been tested on Alpha and Itanium.
