BRAINSTORM is a new approach to Group Problem Solving.  It facilitates  
group discussions on a network by allowing users to respond to any      
number of organized ``topics'', instead of individual people.           
                                                                        
Most E-MAIL Packages which come with a network allow user "A" to send a 
message to user "B", and perhaps send a carbon copy to user "C", "D" and
"E".  While this type of message management is ideal for individual     
communication, it falls short when the goal is to gather feedback from a
group while keeping everyone abreast of the project status.             
                                                                        
BRAINSTORM is not "user" structured, but rather "topic" structured.     
Messages and replies do not even include a reference to whom the message
is addressed.  The focal point of a BRAINSTORM message is the "topic".  
Any user can then go to a topic and read what others have written       
there.  BRAINSTORM keeps track of what a user has already read,         
and what's new to read.                                                 
                                                                        
Brainstorm is not meant to be a replacement to your existing EMAIL      
package, but rather as a supplemental program to structure communication
between your network users.  Network compatible with Novell 2.0a and    
above, Banyan Vines 2.x or above, or any network which supports DOS 3.x 
file and record locking or the Share command.
