Derek,
Thanks for your kind remark. I haven’t been using MT, so I’d need to focus some attention there before I was comfortable writing about it too much—not that my blog is influential at all. There are probably a few applications I’d write about first, though I might make a comparison to GV, which I’ve already blogged about.
Food for thought. Thanks!
Steve

Yes, that would be a very interesting comparison.

AFAIK, Maxthink for DOS goes up to at least Update97, via MAX91 and 94. I don’t know whether Neil produced any more updates, but he may well still be selling the DOS software, and presumably the updates, too. I think I bought mine in 2001.
Derek.

My version is from 1996. Neil Larson didn’t have MaxThink on hand when I purchased it from him, so I guessed he just pop any diskette he could find for me. Even the help system and tutorial chapters are missing. I paid for the printed manual when learning MT was too difficult. There could be newer version for DOS, maybe someone should email him?

Just got off the phone with Neil. He indicated the latest version he has is Max96.
