Subject:Re: Off Topic - synonym for tree From:Sella Rush <sellar -at- APPTECHSYS -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 1 Jul 1998 11:32:51 -0700
While I've always used "tree" or "expandable tree" or hierarchical tree", I
may have to use something less technical (if that's possible) in an upcoming
project.
Someone suggested using outlining terms. Headings and subheadings in
outlines are indentured similar to a tree.
Still--I think I will continue to use the term "tree" and just take care to
appropriately introduce the term to the audience.
