Greetings From Nisus Land
"Southern California Fires"
As most of you now know, we are currently experiencing a firestorm here in Southern California. In San Diego County alone (which is where we are located), it is estimated that more than 1200 homes have been destroyed and 327,000 acres have burned. More than 500,000 residents have been evacuated. It's the worst firestorm that any of us can remember, and there was a pretty big one about four years ago.
The building that we work out of had to be evacuated. Some of our employees were displaced. Happily, they are now back in their homes. Unfortunately, we all know someone who has been affected in some way by this mess.
Thankfully, the worst is over, and we are now able to get back to something like normal. Orders that have not shipped will now be shipping by the time you read this. We are all able to go to our homes, and breathe something like normal air.
However, the fires are still raging. Many, many people still need help. If you would like to help, you can donate at the Red Cross web site.
Nisus Writer Pro/Express Updates
"Featuring Leopard Compatibility Goodness"
Now, while all of this was going on, we were still working (somewhat) from home. So while no one was looking, we have updated both Nisus Writer Pro and Nisus Writer Express.
The main reason for these updates is Leopard compatibility. We have tested internally against pre-release versions of Mac OS X 10.5, but we will not have the final version until everyone else does. So, at the moment, these new versions are beta. Once we test against the final version of Leopard, we will release them as final.
Besides Leopard compatibility, there are also bug fixes, and in Pro, new macro commands. Oh, and these new versions will add years to your life, cut your grass, walk your dog, and help you lose weight!
You can download these beta versions from here
The release notes can be found on this page.
If you are one of the lucky ones to receive Leopard, please let us know what you think by using the "Send Feedback" feature. This feature is located under the "Help" menu in both Express and Pro.
Both Express and Pro are Universal Binary applications, and require Mac OS X 10.3.9, or 10.4 for right to left text input.
So whether you are on Tiger, Leopard, or even Panther 10.3.9, download, use, and even purchase if you haven't yet.
It will be good for you!
