New Outliner for Windows
10/29/2009
Fedir,
I like the concept of your new outliner very much and will soon be purchasing a license.
Can you give us a sense of what features/functions you are planning to add to it?
Thank you.

Looking for information management solution

I believe you'll find that Zoot does this very well. You can choose to import the file (or as much of the text as Zoot can read), and Zoot retains the link tot he original file. Zoot 6, which is now i...

This topic is intriguing, but is likely to be one of those discussions that will never have a resolution. Nevertheless I'm glad to throw my two cents into the mix.
When I see an "ugly" application, I...

Having gotten GrandView running on my MacBook*, I have been able to complete a small project I've been wanting to tackle for some time. That is, I've written a blog post describing my favorite feature...
Another issue running GrandView on the Mac is that the Function Keys don't work. I'll have to figure work arounds for these.

In my MacBook I can't cut and paste between DOSBox and my Mac applications, which is too bad. I'm not sure how it would work if I were running DOSBox from within my virtual machine of Windows XP via V...
Using DOSBox for Mac OS, I have GrandView running on my MacBook... and so far it seems to be running very smoothly. I'll report back here with updates on how it goes.

Coincidentally, there was a reference to a Scrivener rip-off for Windows at the Literature and Latte site this morning. Here's the link:

Off topic: Good, inexpensive database

Thank you to everyone who has responded to my inquiry. (What a great community this is!!!)
I actually own a copy of Alpha Five version 8. I tried this on my PC at work (a relatively new machine) and ...

Off topic: Good, inexpensive database

I was wondering if I'd get a reference for UR from this request. I've got a license for an earlier version, but will have to try the latest. BTW, I noticed that UR will be on sale on Bits du Jour next...
Off topic: Good, inexpensive database

Hello,
Sorry to be off topic, though perhaps not too far afield. I am looking for an easy-to-use, inexpensive database application for structured data. If you're familiar with Bento for the Mac, this...
InfoSelect Discussion Interesting
9/30/2009
It will be interesting to see how "improved" InfoSelect 10 is. In the past, each improvement made the application worse... more bogged down with stupid and ill-conceived features. It should have staye...

I have to disagree a little with what Chris says. Grandview had some important features that EccoPro never did. First, it had a full-blown word processor. You could compose a lengthy document as part ...

MindManager for Mac... thoughts?
9/9/2009
Hi,
I just got an e-mail offer from MindJet to get a copy of MindManger 7 for the Mac for $129, which is a tempting price. I am wondering what folks think of the Mac version of MM.
Thank you.

Interesting. Thanks, Neville.
I don't actually have any insights about this, but that won't stop me from commenting.

If you want to enter the very crowded market of information managers, AND make it economically feasible, you're going to need to do more than emulate OneNote. You'll need to do something different. I ...

New version of Yojimbo out for Mac

Well, just when you think an application is dead in the water, the developer goes and issues a major upgrade.
Version 2.0 of Yojimbo is now out. I wouldn't call it revolutionary, but at least the app...
VMWare Fusion on Bits Todau
8/31/2009
One thing that I've wondered about Fusion and Parallels is do you also have to buy a copy of Windows? How does that work? Can you just use a copy that came with your latest PC?

Notefrog Pro on Bits du Jour today ...
8/31/2009
Since I've been guilty of taking this thread off topic, I thought I'd bring it back around. I decided to spend the $10 to get a Notefrog license for use at the office where I live on a Windows PC. "Fr...
