If the Windows version ever gets going well (or if it had been written as an add-in for [or allowed back and forward co-operation with] Word) then I would definitely use it still.

I think this is what drove out the old outliners incidentally.

I don’t understand the hold up. Neil has a well-functioning Windows version of MaxThink, as far as I can tell, with only the documentation mostly absent. Is this some monumental case of writer’s block, or what.

(There’s also the matter of the $195 price tag, less if you’re switching from the DOS version—from a developer who had priced the DOS version at $60 and proclaimed the end of the $200 application, in pages he quotes on his web site. I wonder if a credibility problem hasn’t arisen.)

But you mention a round trip arrangement with Word. Ironically, the improvements to Word in the last couple of years limits the importance of that feature. Combining templates and styles with the new discontiguous selection of text makes applying formats within Word fairly trivial.
