I spoke to CaseSoft a while ago about NoteMap. The person I spoke with told me they were only interested in marketing the product to attorneys….I suggested they might want to expand their target market a bit, but they said they weren’t interested….

Does CaseSoft even exist anymore?
It was my understanding they sold out to Lexis/Nexis. Certainly the latest NoteMap version I’m aware of (2.1) identifies itself as “LexisNexis NoteMap,” and the “About” screen makes no mention of a company named CaseSoft.
Whatever the details, the fact remains: one more good product is being allowed to die on the vine. Sad.

It’s too bad that NoteMap is dying, though I can understand why it doesn’t sell well… the web page for it is useless, with no obvious way to see screenshots or get a general idea of what the program is like. It’s as if they’re not even making an effort to sell it.
It was a nice product though. It looks like tkOutline and SQLnotes are the only single pane outliners for Windows still in development, and neither is a mature product. Remarkable, really.

And the ironic thing is one of the listed features on the NoteMap web page is,
“Importing of outlines from WordPerfect, Word and defunct outliners like ECCO using copy and paste.”
“Defunct outliners.” Getting to be a larger category every day, it seems.
