I downloaded the installer, but rather than installing MaxThink, it tried to install "Essentials Codec Pack."

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 "Abo...

Huh?
There's the Shooter, which directly imports text from other applications. I use it all the time.

MyInfo 4 Beta

Yesterday, Milenix released a "private" beta of version 4 for current owners of MyInfo 3.
In my initial tests, one hugely important piece of good news is that the new indexing algorithm has seems to ...
