Thanks Amontillado:

Enough said! I have a lot of respect for Edwin Yip, and the way he persevered with DocumentXManager! I am glad he is the developer.

As I said, I like both the written description he provides for FastMindMap, as well as the GUI (which I very much like). I will download FastMindMap, and I hope others do also.
