------------------------------------------ NISUS(R) SOFTWARE NEWSLETTER #071105 November 5, 2007. ------------------------------------------ -HTML NEWSLETTER ------------------------------------------ If you'd like to view an HTML version of this newsletter, please visit the following webpage: http://www.nisus.com/News/newsletter/nl071105.php ------------------------------------------ In this letter: ------------------------------------------ -GREETINGS FROM NISUS LAND: "I'm Having One!" -NISUS WRITER PRO "What's New In Pro 1.0.1?" -NISUS WRITER EXPRESS "Express 3.0 In The Wild" -HOW TO ORDER ------------------------------------------ -GREETINGS FROM NISUS LAND "I'm Having One!" ------------------------------------------ Ok, let's get a few things clear. First, I am tired. Very tired. Second, never, ever ask for a raise from your employer whilst he is surrounded by a pack of attack dogs. Third, never, ever give your significant others nicknames like Jumbo or Boxcar. Yes, I realize that this has nothing to do with Nisus, our products, Apple, or anything computer or insurance related. I just had to get these things off my chest, ok? Now we can move on. So Leopard is out, and there are some things you should know if you are going to upgrade. One, you don't have enough memory. Well, if you have 8 gigs, you have enough. But, most of us don't. Two gigs is just about the sweet spot, but more is better. You need a large, fast hard drive. You never have enough space. Get as large a hard drive as you can put into your machine. If you are running a PowerPC machine, the above is especially true. The minimum requirements are pretty steep: A 867 Mhz G4 with 512 mb of ram and 9 GB of hard drive space. There once was a list, located at Dartmouth, focused on Nisus Writer. It had moved away from that into talk about every boring subject under the sun except Nisus. Now, in a shocking development, it has moved back to talking about Nisus and Nisus related issues. So, if you want to learn about Nisus Writer Pro macros, or just about any other issue related to Express or Pro, please feel free to join the list: http://listserv.dartmouth.edu/scripts/wa.exe?A0=NISUS You can also peruse the archives from that page. There are many knowledgeable people there ready to help with your questions. Just run away quickly when the talk turns to Ford Cortina's and other nonsense. ------------------------------------------ -NISUS WRITER PRO "What's New In Pro 1.0.1?" ------------------------------------------ We recently released Nisus Writer Pro 1.0.1, which is a bug fix release. But, I have been getting questions like: "What's new in 1.0.1?" Well, apart from bug fixes and a few enhancements in the Macro language and the Find and Replace engine, not much. Wait, that is actually new stuff. Ok, so I was wrong. Anyway, if you want to read about all of the things that have been fixed, modified, and enhanced, you can read about them here: http://nisus.com/pro/releasenotes.php This update is free to current Pro users. For those who do not have Pro, it is available now at our store for only $79 for the full version, and $45 for the upgrade from previous versions of Express. A three license Family Pack is available for $99.00. CD versions are available for $10.00 more plus shipping. You can read all about Pro, or download the 15 day fully working demo from the our Nisus Writer Pro page: http://www.nisus.com/pro/ Nisus Writer Pro is a Universal Binary and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9, or 10.4 for right to left text input. ------------------------------------------ -NISUS WRITER EXPRESS "Express 3.0 In The Wild" ------------------------------------------ Four years after the release of Nisus Writer Express 1.0 comes the release of Express 3.0. Big deal, right? Well, it is to us. That's because this new version has new features like Text Wrap around images, Glossaries, Widow and Orphan Control, Small Caps support, and an improved Find and Replace engine. We also made improvements to Notes (both Foot and End) and made more than a few bug fixes. Best of all is the price: Only $45 for the full version, $30 for the upgrade from any previous version of Express. A three license Family pack is $79. You can download a 15 day fully working demo, or purchase Express 3.0 at our Express page: http://www.nisus.com/express/ Nisus Writer Express is a Universal Binary and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9, or 10.4 for right to left text input. So, if you do not need the features of Pro, and would like something easy to use, yet powerful, Nisus Writer Express 3.0 is a great choice, if I do say so myself. ------------------------------------------ -HOW TO ORDER ------------------------------------------ To order securely online: http://www.nisus.com/store/ We accept all major credit cards and money orders.
