GrandView is an outlining and personal information management (PIM) application originally developed by Living Videotext. Living Videotext was acquired by Symantec in 1987. Grandview was sold until the early 1990s and is no longer supported by Symantec. It closely resembled PC-Outline, an outliner for IBM PCs of the 1980s, authored by John Friend. Grandview was derived from the same software.
Reception
BYTE in 1989 listed GrandView as among the "Distinction" winners of the BYTE Awards, stating that it was "packed with goodies" and worth the time necessary to learn how to use it.
