Hugh:
Thanks for explaining how you use Flying Logic. I must admit that news of the discount aroused my CRIMPING urge. Luckily for me, perhaps, the sale was over. By that time, though, I had trawled t...
Thanks, Lucas. I got to the store too late to use the coupon, but it certainly does look like an interesting program (for $80, that is!. I'm not sure how many forum members from here are using it, but...
Inspiration 9 has been released

>Notemap might be less clunky, but Inspiration has never erased any of my work, Notemap has.
Agreed, Cassius. For example I found that joining two Notemap subheadings together, each with its own atta...
Public Beta phase begins for Zoot 6.0

Thanks, Steve. I'll be interested to see how its new outlining feature works. I tried it out in an early beta, but I don't think it was quite ready for use at that time.

Inspiration 9 has been released

@Lucas
This is very tempting, especially as they appear to be offering upgrades at $29.95, not only to version 8 licence-holders, but also to those with earlier versions of Inspiration. http://store....

@letsemoir: I bought Maxthink DOS some years ago during a period of acute CRIMP mania, my purpose being to compare it with Grandview, which I had been using for a long time under WIN98 and XP. I stron...
Cassius,
I installed SP3 on August 29th 2008, if that's any help. I don't recall having had any problems with it, although some people with versions of ZoneAlarm Free Firewall earlier than version 7....

Great work, Steve! It's good to have all this in one place, and the screenshots will give non-users a good idea of its features.

Jack,
When you have time to get back to it, there are two things to consider:
1. It's easy to get the "marking" part wrong if one is in a hurry. Selecting a block of text with the mouse, as in a wind...
Steve,
Congratulations on getting Grandview working on the MAC. That's very encouraging to know.
Why not try running it in XP via VMFusion without DOSBox? I've always found GV to work fine in native...

Playing with GrandView
9/16/2009
Jack,
I just use "/A /V" at present. I've been using /A for years but had completely forgotten why, until you asked. It supresses the initial splash screen, which is dramatic but slow. There's quite ...
What's up with Brainstorm
9/16/2009
I have had confrmation from Oliver (the new owner of Brainstorm, I believe) that: "The download is 3.6.0.4, even though it is displayed as 3.6 Rel 0 in the software in "About Brainstorm" under your na...
Steve,
I couldn't agree more about GV as an exemplar of genuine outlining. The problem - especially in Windows - is that there are all too many limited look-alike note-making programs (misleadingly c...

What's up with Brainstorm
9/14/2009
I just updated Brainstorm from version 3.6.0. to the latest version (3.6.0.4) but the "About Brainstorm" details did not change. I presume the update "took", but I've emailed the new owner. Has anyone...

I should add that the web-page I cited is confusing. The box on lhs has the correct discount price for Deluxe version. The text in the main frame - "Advanced users can buy the Deluxe Edition at $80." ...
See: http://www.whizfolders.com/buynow.aspx
For Crimpers discouraged in the past by the high price of the deluxe version (e.g., moi), here's a window of opportunity, soon to close.
